4 Weeks Post-op. Implants Move to the Side When I Lay Down. Revision Needed?

Four weeks after surgery is a little early to be convinced that the implants are too far to the side. Even if they are, at this time you might be able to salvage the position by wearing a good bra continuously for at least 6 weeks. Before anything you should return to your surgeon and discuss the situation. Good luck.

Thank you for the question.

I would agree with the previous respondents, that it is too early to be concerned about the need for revisionary surgery and about the potential usefulness of a relatively snug  fitting bra ( keeping the breasts  implants immediately positioned).

 If the lateral displacement of the breast implants  does  become a long-term concern, then revisionary surgery may be necessary. This breast implant displacement can be corrected using an internal suture technique decreasing the size of the pockets and moving the implants toward the midline.

 I hope this helps.

At just 4 weeks post op I wouldn't be too worried about your implants moving to the side when you lay down.  At this early stage your capsule hasn't completely formed yet.  I would highly recommend that you wear a really supportive bra for the next two months (the first three months post op) to help keep your implants in a good position while your capsule fully forms.  Beyond this you need to ask your surgeon for suggestions.  Best wishes to you!

Women who have breasts find that they move too --- when you lie down they go out to the sides. This can be a normal finding. Talk to your doctor

Its likely fine. I would not be thinking revision and you should make sure you communicate with your plastic surgeon. If they are in the correct position when you stand and do not fall to the side then there is little to worry about.
