Feeling the inner parts of my breasts is a bumpy feeling that moves and sends a shocking pain to my areola sometimes only a uncomfortable feeling. I was told pre op my saline implants were placed under the muscle. How can I really know it was placed under and not over because I can feel these bumps that can move around? My Dr said it's just bc I have thin skin and I'm feeling the implant. Is this how they are suppose to feel? I am freaking out and very distraught. I am two weeks post op please help!

Answer: Your surgeon knows Your surgeon is the person to answer your question - not an online forum. Assuming you chose a board certified plastic surgeon you should have confidence in your surgeon.

Answer: Breast implant pocket The simplest way to tell if your implants are under the muscle is to flex your pectorals muscle and if your breasts seem to contract and move, it is most likely that the implants are under the muscle. If your surgeon has told you that the implants are under the muscle, I have to say that I can't figure a reason that he or she would mislead you. The bumps you are feeling are likely the implants, particularly if they are saline. Saline implants do sometimes have rippling that can be felt below the tissue in thin people. Also please remember that you are very early in the healing process- try to remain calm, discuss any concern with your surgeon, and I'll bet you are very happy after a few more months of healing and getting used to your new implants.
