Asked By:Aprilshowers2685 in Saint Louis, MO

I had 605cc implants put in a year ago. I only asked for 450cc. My right side has never felt right. Flatness where the nipple is, weird rolling sensation when I lay on my back, and still cant touch it without soreness. The implant has flipped front to back multiple times including having the nurse flip it back in office. My surgeon is now telling me there is nothing he can do and I shouldnt be experiencing pain, which I am when it flips. Is this normal or fixable?
