Program with breast implants

In 2013 I had my breast implants replaced my doctors my doctor's name is Ann Coolidge, now retired. My problem is that my right breast is getting smaller it maybe down by a quarter of the size implanted. What do I do now? Last year I told my OB and she said it didn't look like it was small. But I can really see it now.

The cost to replace both is about $6,700 is this about the right cost?

Procedure: Breast Implant Revision
Location: Bluffton, SC

Thank you for sharing your question. I would visit a new plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. If saline implants were used you may have a leak contributing to volume loss, or if silicone, perhaps a rupture. Sounds like further workup needs to be done to give you the best answer

If you have concerns related to your implants, find another board certified plastic surgeon in your area to help you through this process. Only after an examination would you be able to have a plan on further management.

It certainly sounds like either a leak or a case of contracted capsule. I would recommend seeing a plastic surgeon who performs breast augmentations and get yourself checked out. it can be corrected.
