My left breast is more inflated/swollen at the top than my right breast. It looks like it’s being pushed up by a bra. It’s soft at the bottom but a bit tight at the top. I went to my doctor and she said that the area for my implant is smaller so it’s squeezing the implant up. She offered to do a surgery for free, with local anesthetic to take out the implant and insert a smaller one in. Not sure if this is necessary because I really don’t wanna go through surgery again.. thoughts?
