It’s been a year and a half since I got implants and I’m worried that they aren’t sitting where they should be. There’s often a noticeable line between my natural breast and the implant which I’m embarrassed of. Implants are under the muscle. I attached photos of arms to the side and raised. Do they look correct?

Answer: 18 months post op, are my implants sitting normally? Under the muscle (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately you have had some lowering of your implant, bottoming out, causing the demarcation between your natural breast tissue and the lower portion of the implant. This can be corrected but will require a revision surgery.

Answer: BA results Dear Dogmomxx, 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.
