What next after silicone implant feels displaced after mammogram?

January 26, 2019
Asked By:SusanS08

I've had my silicone breast implants for 4 1/2 years. I had a mammogram and since then my left breast feels displaced, has a feeling of air pockets and overall doesn't feel right. It's been 4 months now and still hasn't gone away or corrected himself.  I've seen my plastic surgeon who ordered an MRI. The MRI came back with no issues... no leakage.  What should be my next course of action? The uncomfortable feeling and air bubbles are not subsiding.
