Uncomfortably Weird Feeling 6 Years After Saline Implants

trbcMay 24, 2009
I have Saline breast implants placed under the muscle. They are about 6 years old now. Once in a while throughout the years, I would bend down or do any activities, and feel a weird feeling like a movement inside my left breast. Now, all of a sudden, this feeling is there all the time. What could this be? I have no deflation and my breast have not changed its appearance. Both of them are much saggier than when I first got them but they have been like that for a way long time. Please help. I cannot find any answers for this discomfort in my breast (it's more uncomfortable than painful).Thanks

Hi, Thank you for your question. If you just had your surgery, you could be having a reaction to several other things such as anesthesia, sutures, garments, etc., not necessarily the implants. Also, it is very rare to have an allergic reaction to implants, but it could potentially happen....

There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined...

There are two reasons to get an MRI of the breast: to check for rupture of a silicone impant and to check the breast for a cancer not visualized on mammogram or ultrasound. If a saline implant breaks, it will deflate. So you will know it will happen without needing to get an MRI. If a silicone...

First of all I like to get my patients away from talking about "cup size" because there is a huge variability in what one bra maker's "B" cup might be. One company's "A" cup might equal another's "C" cup, etc. I think the it mostly depends on your tissues...

A 500cc High Profile Saline will PROJECT MORE than a 500cc High Profile Silicone implant. More specifically you will want the end of the volume range to be 500cc. This gets confusing but you really need something in the range of a 400cc High Profile Saline implant that can be filled to 500cc at...
