Do I have lateral displacement of my implants (done one year ago)? How do I fix this? Does it help to wear a bra after surgery my surgeon had me completely in no bra for 3 months

Answer: It appears the implant pocket may have stretched out laterally This is a common problem especially when you are on your back the implant can move out too far. It is often repaired by either suturing with permanent stitches the outside edge of your pocket to be tighter or sometimes reinforcing with a piece of mesh to add extra support. There are many reasons this happens some based on tissue strength, size of the implant, surgical technique that was used, amount of exercise and type, bras, etc. Costs will vary depending on what needs to be done. I would recommend in person evaluation by your surgeon or get second opinions.
