My right implant flips while lying on side/sleeping. Should I worry? Almost 15 years post-op

Asked By:Stephanie0742 in Houston, TX

My implants are approaching 15 yrs old. I have had no problems, but recently my rt implant flips at night. No pain and goes back in place very easily. I have also gained weight and wondering if the weight gain could be the cause? I am financially unable to have them removed or additional surgery.
