Should I be concerned if breast implant moved?

Question

I got 385cc soft touch silicone implant with a fat transfer done to fix Tuberous breast in 2019. Recently I've been concerned it feels like it's displaced. Certain movements and feel it's completely moving around which is uncomfortable but not painful. From reading up on everything I don't believe it's leaking since there in no change in shape or pain. My main question is if it's just displaced, is there any cause for concern? I appreciate any advise. Thank you

Dear Thrifty50541,
I understand your concern. Generally speaking, implants should move a bit inside their pocket. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your pocket may be stretched out some and it is letting the implant move around. This is not a problem unless it is a problem to you. I suggest meeting with a plastic surgeon, being examined, and discussing your options.
