Gummy bear implant surgery 3 years ago. Left breast is moving around.

Question

I’ve been reading about CC and I don’t think that is the problem. They’re not hard or disfigured. Weird sensation when I bend over (in dishwasher) Like my breast moves. Can’t call doctor until tomorrow. Should I not wear a bra so the breast sits properly? It’s a really strange feeling when I move my breast around. Feels like air bubbles inside. I’m not scared of leaking because they are gummy bears, but some sort of air bubble feeling when I move my breast around.

Hello! It sounds like the implant may have come out of its pocket which could explain it moving around. An in  person evaluation would be the only way to determine what may be going on. Good luck!

It sounds like you’ve probably developed a double capsule and that’s why the implant is suddenly mobile and it feels like there are bubbles. Only physical exam and possibly some imaging studies will be able to determine what is happening so I’d suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined ASAP. Hope that helps!
