I had posted this previously, but thought I could get a more well-informed answer if I posted a picture of me standing as well. I had a breast augmentation approximately one year ago. I’m 5’10 145lbs and I got silicone 345cc R and 330 L moderate plus profile under the muscle. Does this look like lateral displacement when I’m lying down? I feel it looks a bit off. I’m wondering if it’s partially because the implants are too small for my frame since I am taller.

Answer: Lateral displacement From the submitted photos it appears there is some mild lateral displacement of one of the implants. They look nice when in the standing position and in proportion with your frame. If you are wanting correction of the displaced implant you can have the pocket tightened which would require additional surgery.

Answer: Breast implant asymmetry What is undeniable is that one of your implants moves around more than the other. When lying supine, it is also clear that one implant travels toward your axilla (the definition of lateral displacement), and the other doesn't. One would hope that the more mobile implant simply is sitting in a larger pocket, which is more easily correctable than one implant is sitting in a larger pocket and the other implant is surrounded by a capsule that is too tight, i.e. capsular contracture. The latter scenario is easily determined by how soft the non-offending implant feels. If the former scenario is correct, a capsulorrhaphy would correct the issue. What isn't part of the problem is implants that are too small for your frame. If that was an issue, you should have lateral displacement in both implants.
