3.5 years post-op, do I have lateral displacement? And how bad really is it if so? (Photos)

Question

3.5 years post op. Love my implants but feel like they take odd shape when I lay down.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Deela123,
I understand your concern. 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.

It is only a problem if the movement bothers you. If so, the lateral pockets could be tightened. You might need an internal bra of mesh if you have heavy implants.
