Do I have a displaced implant? I had a breast augmentation 5 days ago.

Thank you for your question. It's common for the implant to be high immediately after surgery. It takes 3-6 months for the implants to settle fully. In the first 4-6 weeks you will notice significant settling of your implants. Regarding whether to wear a bra, or whether to use the band, only your surgeon can answer these questions. They'll have a specific protocol that they'll want you to follow. In my office, patients to not wear any bra for the first week.

HI Robin,Your question cannot be answered without a photo. It would bee best for you to call your plastic surgeon's office and get an appointment earlier if you are very worried.Best,Dr, Christine Rodgers

Thank you for your question.Animation deformity, or implant displacement is common with implants placed submuscularly. In athletes, or those with stronger chest muscles, this can be more pronounced. If your implant is moving to upward and to the side with muscle contraction, know that this a trade-off to the superior coverage offered by going behind the muscle. However, if your implant is going all the way up to the collarbone and that too in one breast, then you have to get this checked out by your surgeon as that should not be happening.Please contact your surgeon's team to set up an in-person appointment. If your follow-up is coming up, then I'm sure your concerns will be addressed.Also, follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions as strictly as possible. Whether or not you should prolong the wearing of the pole wraps should be a question shared with your surgeon. Hope this helps.
