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

Could be capsular contracture. Seek consultations with breast revision specialists. There may be scar tissue causing painful mal position

Hello, it's difficult to state what might be causing your symptoms without a proper exam.  Sometimes a firm capsule can form around implants and this can cause discomfort and ripples that seem to pop in and out.  However, this would need to be properly investigated in person.

Thank you for your questions and I am sorry that you are having continued issues with your implants.  It sounds as if you may be having a capsular contracture issue, where your body's scar tissue is squeezing down on your breast implant, and chest, causing your dull pain, and popping sensations.  I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon and voice your concerns.  With an in-person assessment the cause of your symptoms can be diagnosed, and a treatment plan to correct the issue discussed.  Hope that this helps.  

I would encourage you to schedule a visit with a Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon immediately to determine the exact source of your
discomfort.  You will certainly require a
clinical examination and may also require additional imaging studies such as an
ultrasound, mammogram, and/or MRI.  If
these indicate a rupture, your surgeon will likely encourage you to proceed
with surgery.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience as most are delighted after such procedures.  If you can't see your surgeon, find a doctor in your area that provides complimentary consultations and get a second opinion.  If you truly cannot afford any kind of revision, then you don't really have any choices except to accept it until something happens that requires another procedure.  There have been creative ways to raise funds on-line but I'm not aware of just how successful they are.  I do complimentary consultations those those residing more than 50 miles from my office.  You can contact my office to schedule one if you like.

I am sorry you are having problems with your implants.  Return to your surgeon, and seek other opinions if you are not satisfied.  Unfortunately complications such as capsular contraction can happen at no fault to surgeon or patient.All the Best,Dr. Brian Reagan

Hi, loceane.  Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your implant.  Unfortunately, I cannot give you a good assessment and recommendation without examining you in-person.  You may have capsular contracture or implant displacement.  Please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated.  Good luck.

I am sorry that you are having concerns about your procedure
and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your
concern.



Many things can be going on in order to
explain your symptoms. Definitively a thorough physical exam will help with the
diagnosis.



If you feel that your affected breast
have a distorted look to it (higher, not round, etc) capsular contracture could
be the main issue.This is something
that needs to be taken care with surgery.



If you feel that there are no changes
to the shape of your body, the feeling can be secondary to scarring close to a
nerve.



Finally, make sure that your doctor is
aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.



Wishing you the best in your journey

Thank you for the question. From your narrative it sounds as though you may be getting a capsular contracture. The diagnosis can only be made by an in-person examination. You may want to return to your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. This will also allow you and your surgeon the chance to discuss your concerns.and possibly help allay any anxieties you may be experiencing. I hope this helps. Good luck.
