Asked By:jodaenright in San Francisco, CA

I understand having "show" is not uncommon. I know that Massage, eye drops and Steritape help lift/support help speed up the process. That said, she seems to have significant "Show". I am concerned this is not normal and will require Surgical Corrective action to resolve. My questions are: Is this "show" a regular/normal occurance? Can this much "Show" resolve on its own i.e. without surgery? What are other options to help resolve this probelm? based on the pictures what are your thoughts?
