I had breast augmentation eight weeks ago. I have my next post op appt in 2 weeks, but I am dying for answers now. I started completely flat, not even a 32A and had 450 silicone implants under the muscle. One nipple is lower than the other, can this be fixed with surgery? When will they soften up? If ever? My biggest concern- I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think my left breast pocket is too large. When I lie down it literally slides up to my collar bone on it's own and my nipple is flat

Answer: Are my Breast Implant Pockets Too Big?
Hello
On the lying down photos it does look like your implant pockets are too large and it allows the implants to move around the cavity quite freely. The left breast is also lower on the standing photos.
THis can be repaired with a revision and I suggest that you see your surgeon in the coming weeks and discuss these issues with them.

Thank you for the question and pictures. The picture in the lying down position is useful in demonstrating the breast implant displacement problem you are experiencing. This shifting of the breast implant does suggest that you may have a problem with breast implant displacement long-term. If this is the case, then internal suture “repair” of the breast implant pockets on the sides of the pockets (capsulorraphy) may be necessary.
Address these concerns with your plastic surgeon during your follow-up visit.
Best wishes.
