Regretting textured implants
Currently researching next steps for my second surgery. I want to remove my textured implants. I am either going to do an explant + Fat transfer in two separate operations, or new implants + fat transfer, or just explant. I hate textured implants. They don't move, and I have chest pains. They definitely ripple. I also think mine weren't placed properly. My nipples are too high.

Double bubble
From the side view, and frontal view, this is an an example of what my implant is starting to look like. This one is way worse than mine, but I'm noticing the beginning stages of this. I REALLY hope this doesn't happen.
I read that breast tissue sometimes wont fully drape over the implant. Plastic surgery is such a gamble because you never know, and neither does the doctor, how its going to turn out. My issue is one of three things (if not all 3)..
1- my anatomy
2- chose the wrong implant
3- doctor did a poor job
Im not sure which one it is yet. I havent gone to Dr.G for a follow up about this yet. And better yet, I pointed out this ripple from week 3 post-op, and he said not to worry. I read back through my posts, and i mentioned this. :-(....
I had such little breast tissue to work with from the beginning, but isn't that WHY we get breast augmentations is to get fuller breasts. I feel like my surgeon maybe put me in an implant that was too big and my tissue isn't draping over it well, or the wrong shape. or too low?...
I really didn't want to focus on this in my life right now. I got these, was super excited, and didn't want to look back. I don't want to pay thousands for another procedure. Im 26, no kids. At this point, I feel like I need to see how this develops over time and try to forget its there. Once I actually have a stable career and a couple of kids, my breasts will probably have changed and Ill have the money to get these redone. But sincerely, just so sad about this.

Starting to not be happy at all
Was really hoping this didn't happen. I am at my 1.5 year mark.
I told Dr.G that if I chose to lose weight in the future, I didn't want it to effect my implant and he told me that it would not.
A few months after my surgery, I was concerned from a couple of comments on here and I went to see him. He reassured me that my nipples were not too high, and my implants were placed perfectly for my frame.
I am now 7-8 pounds lighter,
And I can see ripples in my implant. Actually, from the early days I could feel it on the sides of my implants. I kept expressing my concern about it and he said not to worry.
I am am not sure what to do so I'm going to schedule a follow up with him to see what he suggests. I had very little Breast tissue to start with, so I'm not sure if a fat transfer would help. The last thing I wanted was to be another client that ends up having multiple surgeries and spending thousand of dollars. I have a girlfriend who had less breast tissue than I have an doesn't have this problem with her implants. So either we picked the wrong ones, Dr.G placed them poorly, or my anatomy just isn't doing it. Could be a combo of all 3.
Sincerely sincerely disappointed right now. I want to be able to be lean and in shape and enjoy my implants.
