I can feel teardrop implant move. Why is this?

November 26, 2015
Asked By:kymmy1 in Australia, AU

I got 440cc teardrop implants in August. It has now been 3 months. I can feel one of the implants moving, over bumps in the car or when I bend down, sometimes when I walk etc. I had my 3 month post op checkup yesterday and my surgeon said it was normal and not to worry, unless the shape changes and in that case I should send him a photo. Is it really not anything to worry about? just feels weird with one moving and the other not, I'm concerned it will change shape. Your thoughts?
