i had my opp 6 months ago with 240cc sillicone unders (I'm 5ft2 with a small frame). I've always been able to feel the implant with my fingers when I lean/bend over or stretch but I've recently felt possible rippling on my right breast when I lean over, my implants also feel quite soft and I occasionally feel twindges or discomfort that feels as if I need to stretch my muscle. Is this normal? Or is this something that needs revision? Thanks, Megan.
