Possible Breast Implant Flipped Over?

Possible Breast Implant Flipped Over? one of my silicone implants flipped over--you can feel the valve. Can it be repositioned without surgery? IF your breast is sufficently loose and lax it is possible but it is equally possible it will flip right back.

Flipped valve?

If you have silicone implants there is no valve but there is  a seal on the back of the implant. The only way to flip it back is to perform surgery. If it doesn't bother you then leave it alone.

Revision breast augmentation is necessary to re-position implant.

Hi. You are probably feeling the disk in back of your implant.  This is not a dangerous situation, but only revison breast augmentation will correct it.
