I'm looking into getting an explant after 7 months of having my implants. I've recently developed breathing problems due to the implants being too heavy for my frame and I'm also not happy with the size/projection of my implants. I'm looking for doctors in Sydney who are experienced in breast implant removal who can tell me more about the procedure (cost etc.)

I'm sorry to hear of the hypersensitivity you are experiencing. As it has been occurring for several years you may not have improvement with implant removal, though it's not possible to know for sure. I encourage you to visit with your plastic surgeon to explore options. There are medications...
When they deflate they can fold over on themselves and the edge of the implant is easily felt. Feeling the implant shell is very common with a deflation and is not a reason to worry.
From the photo it appears you are early in your recovery. Changes can occur to the breast contour for several weeks after surgery. If you are intending to augment after you are healed this contour concern should be resolved. Continue to follow your surgeon's instruction for optimal outcomes.
