Breast Augmentation Disappointment

I had 350 and 325 round mentor silicon implants 8 months ago. To be honest in the. First few days after having the. Surgery I felt that they looked very much to the sides rather and flat in the middle of my chest. But Inwas aware that straight after surgery the shape and position is not what the final results will look like but they will settle in the following months. I was told not to wear any underwire bras for the first few months. About 4-5 months after surgery I notice that when I lay down my breasts fell to the side towards my arm pits. This has progressive got worse and now my chest hollows in the middle and I feel pressure towards my sides where the implants have dropped to! This is lateral displacement and I'am complete side boob with no shape at the front!
I had my surgery in Bangkok and emailed the doctor about my conserns. He told me that my result is a good one and my v shaped chest wall is the cause of this. I was also told that I must wear an underwire bra at all times and for sleeping too! I have since spoken to my surgeon about a revision which he says is possible but not always successful. I feel like he should have offered me more choice in my pre opp if he New My chest wall was V shaped! However he said that he only does round shaped implants and at least a 4 finger space between them in the cleavage area. Do you think my pockets were created to wide especially if the surgeon knew my body make up e.g. V shaped chest wall
What do you suggest are my options now?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Hoping you find support in the community.

4 fingers seems excessive, and yes should have discussed this if knew your chest wall shape....
Have had a google and 1-2 is normal, what hospital did you go to? I am booked for BL/BA in 2 weeks in Bangkok!

Hope you aren't too down, almost everything can be fixed :)
And they look amazing when you are standing up!!!
I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery; I think that you are correct in that lateral breast implant displacement is present. Capsulorraphy "repair" will be necessary to improve your outcome. You will find a lot of information about this type of revisionary breast surgery on this website. Best wishes.
I have no heard of a v shape chest so not sure about it. But I would not recommend going back to the same surgeon for a revision. Sounds like he doesn't really want to accept responsibility for the results, saying it's a good result based on your v shape chest! I wish you all the best. It's really wonderful when the results are great. I'm over the moon happy with mine which is what I wish for you!!!! Stay positive.
I am sorry that you have to go through this!! I got the same size and mine hug my armpits too and don't come together in the center. I went to a doctor for a consult to have a revision and he called me "pigeon chested". I want to get them exchanged out! Are you going in for a revision?
I also have almost a four finger gap with mine.. i can wear push ups but I think it has to do with the implant placement.
Your breasts look great! I'am quite disappointed in my end result. Completely no front breast . I am happy with the side if the pocket was less wide at the side as this would give more fullness in the cleavage area. However if I have a revision I will go larger say 450
