Hello, I have just had a my implants removed two days ago. One of the implants had ruptured (left) and the right side was perfectly fine. I took the decision to not have the implants replaced. My surgeon said he had to do a considerably more work on the left size than the right side. I have noticed that the left side far bigger than the right side. Is this because it be more swollen and had more work done or is this how my breasts will stay now?
