Are my implants positioned properly or are they too far apart? (Photos)

I suppose I'm not sure what I expected, but maybe I'm just looking for some reassurance. Based on my pre-op pictures, does it look like my implants are positioned properly or are they too far apart? I guess I'm a little surprised at how much they extend past my chest. My arms actually rub up against something now. Any honest answers are appreciated.

Would it be possible to move and center my nipples with silicone implants? (Photos)

Implants must be centred behind the areolae/nipples. This prevents the nipples pointing overly outward or inward, which would look unnatural. While a breast lift would reshape your breasts to make them perkier, and help bring your nipples up a bit, they wouldn’t be as centred as your wish pics. ...

My 5 yr old implants are making rubbing /squeaky noises when I run or move the implant around, is this a sign they are ruptured?

The rubbing/squeaky noises you are describing could be the implant either rubbing on itself or the surrounding tissues.  There could also be some fluid around the implant.  An in-person examination with your surgeon plus or minus imaging can definitely help.

Thanks for the question. You are a good candidate for an breast implant procedure because there is no age for these procedures. I wish you all the best.

Hi. A 240cc will look be just right but it will not get you to a C cup. Always remember that the manufacturer has allot to do with sizing and you may be a C cup in one bra and a B cup in another. I would also suggest you consider siliocne gels as opposed to saline implants. salines are notorious...
