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

July 20, 2012
Asked By:jesspez

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.
