Is It Normal to See and Feel my Textured Saline Implant? Will It Eventually Poke Through my Skin? (photo)

It seems like you have a knuckle or a fold in the implant sticking out, this can happen even if the implant is overfilled

Hello,

It looks like you are looking at a revision surgery to fix the problem you have; you may need to consider a small implant and in your case with the size of your breasts may end up changing both implants to keep on a symmetry.

Unfortunately, draining the left implant will not solve the issue but replacing it could be the best approach.

The reason why your implant takes some time to protrude as the day progresses is because you stand up and start moving hence gravity will take its natural course over the implant pulling it downward.

I recommend that you consult with your surgeon to discuss your option since he/she knows the full details of your surgery.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The best of luck to you.

Hi!

Thank you for your question.
 

I would recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon on this. It
sounds like you may need revisional surgery because your implant may eventually poke through due to erosion.

Good luck!

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. 

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.
