Reconstruction and implant moving

Hi all,

I had a right side mastectomy and reconstruction at the end of January. I have been having weekly chemotherapy of paclitaxel plus 3 weekly herceptin. I woke up a week ago and my implant has moved and the reconstructed breast is a funny shape in comparison to how it was. 

I had just gotten used to it and comes to terms with my new pertness but now its saggy and flat and I hate it again.

I have seen my surgeon but unfortunately there was fluid around it and so he couldn't examine me properly, I had the fluid drawn and have been put on antibiotics and now the swelling has gone down I know it isn't right. 

I was just wondering if this had happened to any one else and if anyone had any advice about what can be done about it.

Many thanks
