Hi @beccabecca sorry to hear your implants are not what you expected.... as @mum2jj said I also was not happy with my first implants. They were small, high up, looked like pec muscles, seized up and spazm'd. I had a second opinion but ended up going back to my original surgeon who put expanders back in, then in feb this year (after 3 months) put new slightly larger implants in, they're now 350cc. Am I happy with them.. ...hmmmmm ... unfortunately I still have tightness, pain, limited movement and a constant pressure/seizing feeling. I wanted to leave them for 12 months (as like you I'm sick of surgeries!) but my GP insisted I should have them removed as I've got the start of capsular contracture again.... so off I go for my third opinion, and he assures me that fat grafting should fix my pain, stop the capsular contracture and finally I will be comfortable.. so booked in for surgery number 7 on 22 June - unlike you mine weren't lopsided but as much as more surgery and recovery is painful, expensive and time consuming, you need to feel happy and you deserve to get what you want - your surgeon needs to help you - you have to live with your body - not him. I've definitely learnt that over the last year. If you want any more information or support please contact me - I really feel for you xxx
