Since my breast lift with implants 5 years ago. Under muscle 550cc mentor mod plus Silicone gel. My right hand thumb, pointer and middle finger go numb. When I lift and move the implant I get the feeling back. Also, at times when I am wearing a loose bra but my breasts are supported up I have numbness in my pinky and ring finger until I take the bra off. Is it possibly that because my implant is sitting on top of my pectoral minor muscle that it is pushing on my nerves and causing this?

Answer: Complication The problem you described is very unusual and your photos are striking for several deformities. You should, in my opinion, seek the most experienced surgeon you can reach for their in-person assessment and treatment plan. This is not a clear cut situation and now is the time to slow things down and get the very best opinions.

Answer: Numbness is arm. The symptoms if numbness in the thumb index snd muddle finder are consistent with compression of the median nerve. However numbness in the pinky is related to the ulnar nerve. The symptoms may well be from traction of the nerve roots through scar tissue around the implant. It’s worth consulting a neurologist to try to pinpoint the location of nerve compression. You don’t want to needlessly undergo a carpal tunnel release. Switching to smaller implants may resolve the issue but no way to be sure.
