4 years post-op but I can feel the inside of my implants again. Am I bottoming out?

Question

Everything was fine and then one day I noticed my breasts becoming more sensitive and sore. Both of them. It feels sore like when I'm close to my menstrual cycle but I'm still 2 weeks out so I really shouldn't be sore yet. The bottom of my right boob started feeling a bit numb and when I lay down I can feel my implants sliding like when I first got them and as if I was on my first week post op. What could be a probability of what's going on? Am I bottoming out? I recently started running again.

Thank you for sharing your question but unfortunately without a full series of photographs or an in-person examination it is difficult to comment on what may be taking place.  Best to check with your surgeon who is the best source of information for you.

Dear mybajourneyxx,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You did not show photos, so I cannot say if you are bottoming out. Do wear a good support bra when you run. You should be able to feel your implants at the bottom. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and being checked.

It's difficult to say what is occurring without an examination.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation and rule out any obvious problems.
