Answer: Implants An examination is needed to be certain, but your photos do suggest that you do have some lateral displacement. Wearing underwire bras can be helpful, and wearing a good support bra when exercising is needed. If this displacement bothers you, you can have this fixed surgically.

Answer: Lateral drift? Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photos, I note normal relatively symmetric breasts with no evidence of sag. I do not see evidence of lateral drift. Normal breasts fall laterally to the side when resting on your back. Excessive lateral displacement with exposure of the ribcage between the sternum and the implant would be an example of lateral drift. This phenomenon may also be associated with pain. It may be due to the presence of a large implant, error in pocket creation, or weakened connective tissue of the chest wall. Best wishes...

Answer: Implant placement Dear B456, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Do I have lateral implant displacement? Greetings, The first thing you might want to do is look at your pre-surgical photos to see if your lateral breast placement was present before your surgery. You may have had separated breasts and a wide sternum that is still apparent today. You appear to have a good result from your augmentations and should discuss the outcome with your plastic surgeon before you embark on any care options (tight bras, for example, can create other and worse problems). Best Regards

Answer: Implant Displacement It looks like your implants re in the correct location based on your nipple position. I would go over immediate post op pictures to see if anything has changed. You may want to consider smaller implants or more narrow if you feel they are too far toward the arm pit.
