Picture to show high implant

I thought it would be helpful to post this picture as the others don't really show the raised implant very well.

Doctor offered to fix implant

I received a call from my doctors assistant and she told me Dr Yao would open the pocket to allow the implant to settle. He said he would not charge a surgeons fee but I would still need to pay $1700 for surgery room and anesthesia. It sucks having to pay $1700 but I appreciate him waiving the surgeons fee.

Suggested moving my nipples!!

I went back in to see my PS and he said my inframmarary fold and my scoliosis led to my asymmetry. I tried to explain that I was not concerned about an asymmetry, my concern was the implant being too high. I asked him if he could just open the pocket a little but he said the implant would bottom out. He suggested I raise my nipple instead. Ludicrous!!!! There is nothing physically wrong w my nipples. A $3500 crescent lift is not going to fix the implant being too high. Anyway, I left the office and did some more research. I went to a different PS who had 20 years more experience who said it was a simple capsulotomy procedure. Of course it was going to cost me $3500 to get him to fix it. I then gathered my info and sent an email to Dr Yaos office explaining my findings and asked for a response. That was last Thursday and I have not received a response. There were a couple of other things dr Yao said at my last appointment that really raised a few red flags but I believe in giving him the benefit of the doubt.
