I have asymmetrical breasts so I decided to have breast augmentation in 2008. I had capsular contracture so i had them removed and replaced with new implants in 2011. Same thing happened, had cc so I decided to have my implants removed and not replace with implants. I just had my breast implants removed 2days ago and my breasts have dimples.
