Why do my breast implants hurt when bending over? I'm a year from surgery (Photo)

Question

They didn’t hurt when bending over at any point up until now- I’m a year from surgery and now get a painful sensation under my breast. I even have the pain when wearing a sports bra. What could possibly cause this? I’ve never had pain like this before and I’m worried it’s due to the implants being too wide and low for my body / bottoming out

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It's not typical to develop pain a year out from surgery.  From the submitted photo it does appear that your implants may be beginning to bottom out.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation and to discuss your concerns.

Edgar Contreras, MD · Answer

Hi there! It is possible that the implants you have are too heavy for your body which is what is causing the pain. This can be fixed with a correction procedure, in which the implant is placed under the muscle. Doing so, the implants will be properly placed, removing the pain you're experiencing.

Hi! this is Arzu from Dr. Caner Kacmaz clinic. First of all you should go to your doctor for mamography and ultrasound. After analysing the results the cause of the pan can be detected.
Kind regards

Dear girl876,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Over the past year, the implants have dropped a little and may be irritating a sensory nerve. Be sure to wear a good supporting bra during the day and when you exercise.
