Asked By:LGDG12

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!
