Can an implant be put in backwards?

December 12, 2014
Asked By:MomToTwo91 in Tulsa, OK

I got my implants (hp 450 saline under muscle) 2 months ago. One side is perfect but the other is super uncomfortable and feels like there's a lump or something between my implant and my chest. The best way to describe it is it feels like it's backwards that the projected side of my implant is going into my chest instead of outward. When I move it up and down it doesn't slide smooth like the other side it feels like a mass is jabbing into me. Is this possible to happened?Any way to check?
