Is It OK That I Can Feel my Silicone Implants Touching my Ribs?

Thank you for the question.

Your description of feeling the breast implants touch the rib cage is anatomically correct given the placement of sub muscular (or dual plane) breast implants. Is it likely that  you will gradually adapt and the sensation will not be bothersome. For specific and more precise guidance please follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Best wishes.

It is very possible that you feel the implants rubbing against your ribs.  It osunds like fromyour description that the implants were placed submuscularly.  This sensation may or may not improve over time.

By definition, the breast normally rests on several structures: the upper and inner portion of the breast sits atop the pectoralis major muscle while the lower covers the rib cage. When the implant is placed under the pectoralis major muscle it sits on the much smaller pectorals minor muscle along its upper portion but for the most part on the rib cage. When placed on top of the (pectoralis major) muscle its upper third or so sits on ths muscle but the lower portion and side sits directly on the rib cage. What you are feeling is natural and the vast majority of women get used to this feeling in short order.
