My left implant keeps breaking thru my skin. After 3 failed attempts and the last one with ADM. Any ideas why this is happening?

May 3, 2014

Had my first BA 3 years ago, 600cc under the muscle. It was great for 2 years, then I developed a black spot under my left breast. My implant broke thru my skin, had it removed. Waited a month and replaced it only for the same thing to happen a month later. This time I waited 6 months, and also had ADM. It looked good, but after 2 weeks in broke through again. It's away from my incision where this keeps happening. My ps said the graph had integrated itself into my skin beautifully. Any ideas??
