Did the Pocket Close? Implant Won't Drop. There is Movement, But Won't Drop Into Pocket?

Dear Julie, I am so sorry to hear you are going through this.  At 2 months post operatively, something has interfered with the movement of your implant downward, and it won't drop any more.  This is a surgical complication.  It more than likely was listed as one of the potential complications in your informed consent.  As such, even the most experienced plastic surgeons get a malpositioned implant, rarely, but we all get them.  That being said, in my practice there is never a charge for correction of a surgical complication. 

It's time to make an appointment with your plastic surgeon to set up a revisionary surgery.  I would stop the high doses of vitamin E, they don't work anyway, and they will increase your chances of bleeding during the revisionary surgery. 

Your level of concern about this breast implant position should be based on how long after surgery that you are. If you are six to 12 weeks after surgery, then there is going to be no change and a revision will be needed to lower the pocket level for the implant. Prior to six weeks after surgery, downward implant movement is possible. In rare cases, some dropping of the implant may take place after six weeks.

I think that it is important to give more details like how long has it been since your surgery.  If it was recent, it may still come down. If not, you may need to see your surgeon about a possible revision.
