You concerns require evaluation by your plastic surgeon, not an expensive test that frequently provides incorrect information and does nothing to resolve the issue! If you have malposition, capsular contracture, or muscle tear with implant herniation you require surgical advice and the...
In my office, we use an implant sizing kit which has helped our patients choose their size with much higher satisfaction rates. Essentially, we take your current measurements to determine what implant sizes work well for your body. This usually gives a range of +/- 300cc. Then, the implant...
