One year PO and Very unhappy

My dr made the decision to move the fold on my left breast. He said it would make them appear more even, even though I never thought of them as particularly uneven. I agreed, because he's the dr right? He does this every day so he would know better than I would.
I noticed almost right away that my left breast appeared much different than the right but every time I expressed my concerns he basically waved them off and told me they look fine.
What essentially happened is that the new fold he created isn't strong enough to support the weight of the implant and it is slipping down. It sits about an inch and a half lower than my right breast. An extremely noticeable difference. Because it isn't sitting where it should, there is a very noticeable divide between the implant and my actual breast tissue, creating an almost double bubble effect.
Not only is it ugly but it causes a lot of pain and discomfort. Any type of flexing causes extreme distortion because of how it has slipped past the muscle that it should be under.
At my last appointment I brought it up (again) and he basically told me I was being picky but if I really wanted it fixed he would do it, but it would cost me another estimated $2500 out of pocket.
My right breast has had zero issues and looks pretty great still. I wish I had asked more questions about what could happen by moving the fold. I spent a lot of money on this procedure and now I'm too embarrassed to even let my husband see me topless. This has caused so much insecurity with me. But unless I can come up with another $2500, I am stuck with it.

Left boob still pissing me off

I ended up having an emergency visit with my dr on Wednesday due to the swelling and pain in my left boob. I had a sneeze fit the night before and it caused bleeding that was collecting under my boob. He taped the whole underside for more support and I bought a zoo front molded cup high support sports bra. I have zero pain in either breast but I'm constantly uncomfortable no matter what I'm doing. He did say my left breast may look different since he lowered the fold. I'm going to be so upset if that's true because my right breast is perfect and my left is more cone shaped. I hate morning boob! Can't wait for them to soften more and close the gap in between lol. It has already improved so much! I went to target yesterday and found a comic print sports bra that is just smooth and stretchy, and insanely comfortable. $12!! Best Buy ever. I'm going to hold off on normal bras for a few months because I would hate to buy them and they not fit later on.

Pain and swelling on one side

A few days ago I was able to switch from norco to plain Tylenol. I can't believe how well I have been healing! Well this morning I woke up and my left breast is very swollen, especially on the underside and there is a lot of pain underneath. I don't know if it is because the dr lowered my folds and this normal for that.
I really love the staff at dr mabourakh's office. They never seem bothered when you call to ask a million questions and always take their time to answer questions. I emailed some photos on and am waiting for the dr to look at them. I may need to go in today to have it looked at.

I just passed my one year PO mark, and I am extremely unhappy. I agreed to let the Dr lower the fold on my left breast to make them appear more even. I wish I would have asked more questions about the complications of this, but he's the dr so I trusted him. The new fold he created can't support the weight of the implant and has caused it to slip down out of the pocket. It is extremely ugly and also painful and uncomfortable. The implant sits about an inch and a half lower than in should, and because of that my incision is in the middle of breast. I expressed my concerns at every follow up appointment and he essentially waved me off and told me I was being picky. At my last appointment he told me he would fix it if I wanted him to but it would cost me an estimated $2500 out of pocket. I'm too embarrassed of how I look to even let my husband see me topless. I wish I never had this done. My right breast that he left the fold alone is perfect. I'm just heartbroken about my results.
