4 year old implants - Bottoming out, rupture, capsular contracture?

Question

I have had implants for 4 years. About a year ago I noticed a weird bubble feeling, moving? I don’t know how to explain it well but I had a mammogram and ultrasound and they deemed it scar tissue. Fast forward a year the same breast seems to have a now after appearance and is now slightly lower/leas full on top. When I push my breasts toward each other this one moves easily across the centerline, the other one stops as if there is a wall. I’m not sure which side has the issue and I know it’s slight but it’s changing and I’m not sure what’s going on

Visiting your surgeon would have likely obviated the need to get unnecessary tests and could have diagnosed the issue. Your implants are likely intact and you may just be experiencing implant settling. 
Go see your surgeon.

Dear echosparrowreno,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Based on your post Virt consultation for action motion of breast to be noted. It appears you need an internal bra treatment on both sides of the breast with revision and tightening the inframammary crease. Again, best of virtual consult with fee $10,000-$15,000..
