Why Can I Feel my Breast Implant Putruding?

What you are experiencing is likely normal–breast implants are often times more palpable at two months then they are immediately after surgery. The implants may be more palpable in certain positions or certain areas of the breasts where there is less “coverage”. Typically implants are most easily felt at the bottom or on the outsides (lateral) aspects of the breasts.

Of course, if you have concerns or the palpability  worsens you may want to see your surgeon for advice. Best wishes.

The issue you're likely having is a bit positional.  It sounds like your saline implants are placed under your muscle.  When implants are under the muscle, only about 2/3 of the implant is under the muscle, the remainder extends at the bottom of your breast beyond the end of the muscle.  Your muscle is elastic so it squeezes your implant.  Imagine what happens when you have a balloon and you only press down on half of it...the other half bulges out.

While what I'm explaining happens to every implant, the fact that saline implants feel very different than natural breast tissue makes this easier to feel.  The other big issue with what your describing is that the muscle also helps to hold the implant in a somewhat stable position.  Your natural breast all sits over the muscle so is supported differently that your implant.  When you lie down, your natural breast typically moves up and to the side- away from the lower pole of your breast where the saline implant protrudes beyond the end of the muscle.  You will likely have the same ability to feel the lower pole of the implant when you raise your arms.

Sorry for the lengthy explanation...but all that your feeling is very normal.  I hope this helps!  Scott Newman, MD FACS
