I am post 6 months op and I had 250cc overs, over the past 6 months my implants are moving a lot more than what they did. It feels like the pocket is too big and when I lay down they seem to move very close to my armpit. I am aware with natural gravity that the implant would shift slightly however is this lateral implant displacement?
Answer: Implant position Hi there and thank you for your questionI am afraid I need to offer a different comment from those previously.Unfortunately your photos do not appear to be with you standing up so it is difficult to comment honestly (and ideally an in-person consult is always best)It would be great to see your preoperative photos and remark upon the appearance of your chest wall and whether you had any divergence of your nipples in the first place and indeed comment on the width of your sternumIn actual fact your implants look to be centred appropriately to your nipple so if they were too lateral your nipples would appear more medial (?hope this makes sense)Many girls unfortunately have a wide sternum and divergent nipples pre-operatively and it is important to point this out to avoid any misunderstandings.However, to answer your question, over time the breasts do soften and move and the big question is whether this is normal or not. Do see your surgeon and discuss further.Good luck!

Answer: Implant malposition You do appear to have lateral malposition of your implants. I think that you would be much happier if you could have a revision surgery called a capsulorrhaphy in which the capsule of the pocket is tightened, usually with sutures, to secure the lateral wall of the pocket and prevent the lateral displacement of the implants. Your implants are an appropriate size for your body and should not move as much as you demonstrate especially only 6 months after surgery.

Answer: Implant malposition Hi there,It’s impossible to make a clinical assessment without a clinical examination. Thee photos are all in the supine lying position. The implants depending on size, chest shape and pockets created do move a little. It would be reasonable to discuss this wiht your PS.
