Why does my implant feel like it's popping out of place?

September 7, 2015
Asked By:loceane in Beverly Hills, CA

So I'm about 3 years post-op and I've had a lot of issues with my implants. First, my surgeon didn't properly explain how to take care of them. I've started to notice a dull pain in my left breast, specifically when I'm laying down. My implant feels as though it's literally popping out of place. The pain is sharper and it feels similar to popping your fingers or moving your hip out of place... I'm concerned and I don't know what to do. I can't afford any revision surgeries.Please help!
