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?

Answer: Implant moving Your implants are simply placed inside a "pocket" they are not fixed to your chest wall. This allows them to look and feel natural and move when you do. The movement of your implant is not usually concerning but it may increase the possibility of your implant rotating in the pocket which would cause your breast to change shape. Keep on eye on things and if you have any concerns discuss them with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Moving Implants Your breast implant is not attached in one place. It is placed in a pocket in which it will move as you move. There is no way to affix an implant to a spot on your chest wall. Textured implants tend to move less and the dimensions of the pocket can affect movement but the fact that the implant moves is irrelevant unless the appearance changes, as your surgeon told you.
