Are my implants misplaced? (Photo)

February 13, 2023
Asked By:eh89 in New York, New York

I had an augmentation 12yrs ago & just had the implants replaced 6m ago. Previously, my implants never felt like they shifted around much, at least not to the point of discomfort. Now, I’m constantly readjusting & I feel I need to wear a supportive bra all the time. They both, one especially, fall to the side when I lie down to the point of making almost a cavity by the breast bone. Theres a lot of rippling. It’s very uncomfortable. Is there actually something wrong with the placement?
