One of my Breasts is Loose and Sliding Around in the Pocket- What Can I Do?

Without photos it is difficult to provide guidance. Based on your history, you will need a revision to correct the asymmetry and close down the pocket . Go back to your surgeon and discuss this or seek a second opinion if you are not comfortable with the original surgeon. Good luck.

I would strongly recommend converting to a subfascial plane to create lasting support for a revised and higher position

By the fourth month after a breast augmentation, everything should be healed. I would consult with your plastic surgeon and have them examine you to see what can be done. A small revision surgery may be needed to correct this.

Breast implants, whether above or under the muscle, are held in place long-term by the scar capsule that forms. If it is out of position after 4 months, then it will likely need to be revised. Most of the time this can be accomplished with a procedure called a capsulorrhaphy. Of course without personally seeing you it is not possible to make a definitive recommendation, but it sounds like something that can be fixed without a significant recovery time.

It's difficult to tell entirely from the photo you submitted exactly what's going on.  It looks to me like your implant position is different on each side and that you'd definitely benefit from a breast lift.  Trying to correct your asymmetry only with implants may be difficult.

What can you do? See your chosen surgeon and discuss. Post photos showing the asymmetry here on REALSELF so we can better advise. 

It takes about 6-8 weeks after for the implant pocket to mature.  If you are 4 months postop from surgery and the breasts are uneven with the implant moving around, you will likely need a revision of some sort to tighten the pocket and improve the symmetry.

From what you are describing, the pocket in which the implant has been placed is both too large as well as too low. This will not be resolved without a surgical revision. You should contact your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns and the findings then plan to have this corrected.

After breast augmentation the implant should fit in the breast hand in glove so that they move and feel as one. If the implant pocket is too large the implant will not stay centered under the breast and can fall to the side or bottom out in an unnatural way. After four months the problem will not correct itself and the pocket will need to be revised.

Best of luck,

I would like to see photos to really try to see what is going on but probably you need to go and talk to your surgeon and see what type of revisionary surgery he/she recommends for you to achieve better implant placement. It sounds like capsulorrhaphy is what you would need.
