Asked By:obxgrl74 in Richmond, VA

Had first BA Oct 2015. I knew immediately it was not right. L breast was way out laterally, R breast was sagging from the get go also. Had Revision 1-19-16. L breast is still lat. out, R breast sagging within a week. This does not appear to be bottoming out to me, implants were not "riding" high with the first surgery or 2nd. Seems like he is placing implants to low. I know it's only been 3W but they are only going to continue to drop... "Gravity" is NOT going to raise them back up.
