I just wanna know why or what causes a great shift in one or both breast implants ? II’m a 29 yr female who is 5 years post op from a BA with 500 ccs on both breast. I’m 4’11 and weight 120 lbs. My left implant has shifted so much so that sometimes my left Arm Gets numb. I don’t do heavy lifting on upper body days and avoid chest work outs. And now surgeon wants to charge more than the actual BA. Implants are under the muscle. Also 2 yrs pp and breastfed for 16 mos. TIA
