Asked By:2001Momma in San Antonio, Texas

Hi. I got my second implants in 2019 after having saline for 18 years. I loved my saline implants but the right one had 60 cc less so when I lost weight it became very noticeable. I then got silicon implants. I hate them , not just how they look , but how they feel too. They have never been soft, they are firm. What should I expect to hear from a doctor when I replace them?
