If the Implant Pockets Were Not Made Deep Enough Originally, is That the Surgeon's Fault?

Asked By:SuzieQuzie18

I've reached my 6 month mark but am facing reoperation because the implants have not dropped enough. Is that my surgeon's fault in that he did not make the pockets deep enough originally or did he and my body healed them up slightly? A capsular contracture has also developed in my left breast. I'd say Grade III, not painful but palpable. Regardless though, pockets need to be made deeper and now I face both re-surgery nerves and anesthesia fees. I don't want to pay for HIS mistake.
