I had a Breast Aug. on 5/31/12, 300cc textured saline. I am 24 years old, 5' 0" tall and 103lbs. I had very little breast tissue to start with (34A) and now I am a 34B. I can see the edge of my implant poking through my skin. It feels hard and very similar to the knuckle of my finger. When I awake in the morning, after being in the reclining position for 6-8 hours, the area is hardly visible anymore and seems to have gone away. As the day progresses, it becomes more prominent and sore to touch.

Answer: Breast implant that the patient can feel - textured saline implant Unfortnately you have palpability of your implant. The location that you can feel your implant is also unfortunate. Gravity is affecting your implant during the day and you start feeling the implant later in the day as you spend more time in a vertical position. Your tissues seem thin so I think it's best if you ask your surgeon a few things: are my implants under the muscle? How were my implants sized in correlation to the size of my breast? . In my practice, you would likely get you implants under the muscle and I would encourage you to be conservative in implant size as you are 5'0." Over time, you tissues will continue to thin if they are not covering your implant now. I have never seen an implant "poke through" the skin however I am concerned that your surgery was very recent and you already see and feel your implant.

Answer: Feeling your breast implants after augmentation
The area of concern will most likely settle out and not be as hard after the next few months when the swelling has resolved. If things worsen, definitely see your plastic surgeon soon.
