Can an Implant Under the Muscle Move to over the Muscle After Nursing?

August 15, 2011
Asked By:Sonya in california in Pasadena, CA

I am 26 years old I got my implants when I was 20 and they've been perfect with no problems. I recently had a baby and I've been nursing him along with pumping. My right breast feels as tho the implant moved. I'm not sure if it is just clogged milk ducts. Is it possible for the implant to move from under my muscle?
