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: Implant concerns I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation. If you feel your implants are moving laterally you may be a candidate for a surgical procedure where the surgeon tightens the outer portion of the pocket.

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: 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.

Answer: Additional information needed. Hi, B456! Thank you for your question. To understand if you had a lateral displacement or not, we need to know these: - The pre-operative photos.- The photos in the early post-operative period.- Submuscular or over the muscle placement (or dual plane?)- The incision place (armpit or submammary fold) If you can provide these information, then we can evaluate better if you have a displacement or not. A physical examination is gold standart to understand if something is going wrong about the procedure.
