Right implant looks different when bending forward. Galaflex mesh did not fix it. How can this be improved? (Photos)

Herrerak28Oct 21, 2025
I had surgery back in February 2025 and i got implant exchange for bigger implants and more profile. but when i bent over my right implant kept looking different, i went back and i got galaflex mesh added and it was suppose to fix the problem, but my right implant keeps looking the same when i bend over. Is this normal? What should I do?

Visiting your surgeon would have likely obviated the need to get unnecessary tests and could have diagnosed the issue. Your implants are likely intact and you may just be experiencing implant settling. Go see your surgeon.
