Was hit from behind and noticed a few days later a decrease in the size of the breast. Assumed the silicone had leaked. After surgery was informed that the implant was in tact but had moved out of the pocket behind the chest wall. I decided to undergo a diep flap but I want to know if the accident caused the implant to move or was this a coincidence. I experienced no pain because I have no feeling in the breast after the macectomy

Thank you for your breast implant question.It is best to follow your surgeon's instructions,After trying on a bra strap, being a woman myself, I never recommended its use to any patientAs the muscle spasm subsides, gravity usually pulls the implant down into positionOccasionally this will not...
In my opinion general support is all it is necessary after breast augmentation particularly for comfort. However the specific direction should be obtained from your own surgeon. I see no problem showering the day after breast augmentation.
