Feeling Edges of Implant?

It can be normal to feel the implant edge if you feel carefully in the area of the implant. Saline implants are much more likely to be felt then silicone implants. For this reason almost all of my patients choose silicone gel implants. Usually patients who are very thin are the ones who rarely have the issue. In extremely thin patients,weight gain can help to resolve the issue.

In a very slender woman, it may be possible to feel the edges of the breast implant after augmentation.  In general, placing the implants under the muscle and using silicone implants can reduce this ability to feel the implant.  Even with under the muscle silicone implants perfectly placed,there may be some portion of the implant edge that can be felt in a slender woman.  Good luck.
