How Easily Will my Breast Implant Move?

Hello,

Regardless of what location the breast implants are placed gravity will always want to pull them down over time. Factors that affect how much this occurs include:

1) Strength of the breast tissue (breast with excess laxity before surgery will have less integrity).  The thinner the tissue the less strength it is likely to have.

2) How heavy the implant is.

3) How the breasts are supported.  ( good support, especially during impact activity will help)

Make sure you wear support the majority of the time and especially during impact activity and you should be alright.

All the best,

If your breast augmentation has been well done and the implant fits the breast envelope and pocket well, breast implants seldom move. Many have a concern that without a support bra, or with exercise that the implant will drift out the side, or fall under the breast. Let your implants heal and settle in for six to eight weeks and exercise should be just fine.

Best of luck,
