Implants feel like they're moving/pulling when I bend over or lay down - is this a return of capsular contracture?

Dear DNS3355,
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.

It is important to seek medical advice from a board-certified plastic surgeon or healthcare provider who specializes in breast surgery to determine the cause of your discomfort. While it is possible that the discomfort you are experiencing is related to capsular contracture, it could also be related to other factors such as changes in breast tissue, hormonal changes, or even unrelated issues.

The rolling and pulling sensations you are experiencing could be due to a number of factors, including muscle tension, nerve irritation, or changes in breast tissue. It is also possible that the implant has shifted slightly, which can cause these types of sensations.

Your surgeon may recommend an examination or imaging tests to help determine the cause of your discomfort. In some cases, further surgery may be necessary to address any issues that are identified. It is important to address any discomfort or concerns with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to prevent any potential complications.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

I would suggest being examined by your surgeon to see if the capsule is present. Usually, your breast will feel more firm and move less with a capsule present. Otherwise, you may have changes in your breast tissue from hormonal changes. With swelling and then subsiding, your implants do have more room to move, and can be felt more.
