Why do I feel like I'm lying on a bubble 7 years post op?

cupcake50Jan 15, 2024
I'm female, slim, 60 yrs, 5ft 2.botched .Surgeon put huge breast implants in. Revision surgery 1 yr later. Implants placed intra muscular. I've always been aware of them sometimes when walking and always when lying on my side. But now the left side is like lying on a hard balloon. There is no change visually. I'm 120 lbs . Any idea why and will it subside over time. My right side feels fine.

The implants appears to have been placed too high. I'd recommend removing the implants and replacing with a fat transfer.

Hi- yes it looks like your left implant has flipped over. Best is to see your plastic surgeon to see how address this and if they can help flip it back manually vs surgically.

Butt implants have a high degree of complications. For this reason, I advise sticking with fat transfer. If you are already using fat I don't see a reason for the implant.
