450cc silicon implants under the muscle. Left breast pointing outwards & and empty feeling on the left hand outerside of that breast. When feeling in between the middle of my breast I can feel the left implant more in the middle then I think it would be. What can I do to sort this out. I am five weeks post op. Happy with my right breast
