Flipped over Implant after Breast Reconstruction

A flipped implant does occur and it is difficult to say why it happens. Occasionally it will flip back on its own. The surgery to correct it is relatively  simple and should not be a concern for you.

In breast reconstruction- the implant pockets are sometimes a bit larger than than implant volumes- so implants can flip spontaneously, changing the shape and projection of the reconstructed breast. This issue may resolve spontaneously. if it does not, a simple operation can fix the problem.

An implant can flip inthe pocket and sometimes it can flip back over through manipulation or if necessary, through having another operation.
