Breast Implants Slipped Down

June 1, 2010
Asked By:1516anon in arizona

3 weeks after having a silicone breast augmention it looked like my implants were slipping down (see photo). A "hump" started to form on both sides starting 3 weeks after surgery. Surgeon said to wait until I was 6 months out. It looks like I have 4 breasts! He is now saying my muscles are not strong enough to hold up the implant and he wants to charge me for "tacking" them up. Should I ask for a refund?!
