I had augmentation four months ago. One of them is considerably lower than other and slides around in the pocket. How can this be fixed?
Answer: Asymmetric, loose implant 4 months postop
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.

Answer: Breast implant revision
I would strongly recommend converting to a subfascial plane to create lasting support for a revised and higher position

Answer: Breast implant pocket revision
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.

Answer: Breast Implant Moving Around
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.

Answer: Corrective surgery likely needed for breast implant asymmetry
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.
