I posted over a year ago about discomfort with my breast implants and it hasn’t subsided. I am now 4 years post op, everything was fine up until a year ago. Whenever my implants move I can feel a grinding pain against my chest wall, laying on my back I can feel them falling to the side, manually moving them, swimming. No one can figure out why, it has been happening since March of last year. Could it be nerve damage possibly?

Answer: Breast pain Thank you so much for reaching out. I am sorry to hear you are experiencing pain with your implants. There could be several reasons why you are having pain. Typically nerve damage feels more like tingling/burning/itching, or an electric shock kind of sensation that can occur at random times. The fact that you are having pain when the implant moves may be more of a musculoskeletal issue or inflammation with scar tissue or your capsule. If your plastic surgeon is unable to investigate this further, I recommend getting a second opinion with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck and thanks again for reaching out.

Answer: Implants You may have developed a capsule. also, breasts do fall to the sides naturally when laying down, but some augmented women do not like this. Your lateral pockets can be tightened so that there is less movement.
