Usually not a problem

Good news/bad news

Implants that move are good because it usually means they are not hard. However, implants that move too much might look or feel funny because they are displaced relative to the normal breast anatomy and position. Mobility of the implants generally do not signal a problem unless they are textured and designed not to move.
