I can feel my implant underneath my breasts (near the incision area). Is this normal or common?

The bottom of your breast near the incision is an area with little breast tissue coverage.  Therefore, the implant can be more palpable in this location.  Best to get an exam by your surgeon before getting too worried.  Good luck and be safe.John T.

Thank you for your question. I would visit with your plastic surgeon who can best help you assess whether this is normal or if your implant is starting to drop more than desired.  This part of the breast is often thinner and can explain the palpability of the implant through the skin.

Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that this has caused you to be worried and anxious. It is not uncommon to feel an implant near the incision as this area has less tissue coverage for the implant than higher up on your chest.  Likely as a result of the back massage you became more aware of this feeling, but it is often nothing to worry about.  If, however, your breast appearance has changed significantly, I would make the case that you should see your surgeon a bit earlier to rule out any problems.
