I have 220cc implants placed subglandular, and I can feel them ver much when I lay on my back. I guess its normal as I'm pretty thin? Would it be possible (is it usuall possible) to have them removed and replaced in a submuscular position? And would there be consecuences to that?

Answer: Submuscular breast implants vs Subglandular implants
Implants placed behind the muscle have better coverage so they typically show less rippling than sublandular implants. Also, submuscular position of implants have a lower risk of capsular contracture. Change of pocket from subglandular to submuscular can be performed but, it has its inherant risks that must be discussed with the patient.

Answer: Breast implants site change is possible
Breast implant revision surgery is often about "site change", i.e. the change in placement of the breast implant from in front of the pec to behind the pec muscle.
A plastic surgeon experienced in revision surgery will be able to give you options as to what may be best in your particular case.
Women who have particularly thin breast also benefit from increasing the breast tissue thickness over the implant with fat transfer.
