6 months post op - implant "pops" during daily moviment. Can this be repaired? (Photos)

February 6, 2022
Asked By:buddh in Edmonton, AB

Ever since I downsized my implants, we discovered that when my left breast gets pushed inward, the implant balloons out of a small spot and gives me an uncomfortable ‘pop’ feeling. When my breast relaxes, I have the same feeling as the implant falls back into place. It’s an unsettling snap/pop feeling and it happens during regular daily movement. Are there any promising options? Internal sutures or mesh? I have expressed this to my surgeon. It has been really hard for me. I can’t ignore it.
