Did my Dr. Make a Mistake? Found Out One of my Implants Are Upside Down?

Even though the breast pocket is generally made such that the implant is a snug fit, over time the tissues cna relax and allow the implant to move more.  Even the round implants do have a front aned a back to them ( usually a patch on the back of them that is a little flatter).  The patch should always be placed against the chest wall, but there are some patients who will have the implant flip over on itseld for whatever reason.  Not negligence, just one of these things that can happen.

I'm not sure what you mean by "flip". Non-anatomical implants are symmetrical so any rotation will not create an aesthetic problem. Perhaps you should discuss this with the surgeon who described the situation to you.

and I do not believe your doctor made a mistake.  But why did you switch doctors in mid-stream?  Implants can turn upside down if the pocket is large enough to allow movement of the implant.  As for muscle release, that is a judgment call and something you should have discussed with your doctor before the procedure as to how much improvement you would be achieved in diminishing your distance between the breasts.

You did not mention if you used gel or saline filled implants.  One of the problems with saline filled implants is that if over filled they tend to get very round and can definitely rotate in the implant capsule.  All implants have a definite front and back and are designed to be placed in this manner.  The only time I have seen this to be a problem is when a thin patient has an overfilled saline filled implant.  In this situation there can be a subtle change in shape.  No negligence or deviation of the standard of care is involved.   

Nothing in your description sounds like “negligence”.  Breast implants can certainly flip and turn etc.Best wishes; hopefully you will be pleased with the outcome of the procedure performed.
