Answer: Breast feels different Thanks for your question. It's hard to tell what's going on without a photo or more information, but I can make a few guesses. (I will assume you have silicone implants, based on their greater popularity.) If both of your breasts have felt firm and upright until recently, then it is possible that your vigorous workouts have torn or disrupted the capsule around your left implant, allowing it to move more freely. This may firm up as the capsule heals or the pocket may be permenently enlarged and would require surgery to tighten it. Sometimes, the soft breast is actually the normal side, and the firm side is developing a capsular contracture, a tightening of the scar capsule that forms around all implants. This can happen from bacterial contamination of the implant or a ruptured silicone implant. An ultrasound would readily diagnose a rupture, and a physical exam can detect a capsular contracture. You should reach out to your original surgeon, or another plastic surgeon experienced in breast implants for an evaluation.

Answer: Implant displacement can happen. Surgery is needed to treat it. Most likely your implant has displaced to the side. You may have experienced a tear in the capsule at some time allowing the implant to move toward your armpit. This can happen as the result of injury or major exercise (without you even knowing it). The treatment is surgical repositioning of the implant and repair of the capsule. Also, an ultrasound is useful to check to see if your implant is intact.
