Got my implants a few months ago and when I stand up they are okay but when I lay this happens and I think it is not normal. Plus one boob is bigger. I got anatomical implants above the muscle. What could be the cause for this?

Answer: Implants Your tissue has stretched and thinned and your pocket is somewhat wide from the weight of your breasts. If this bothers you, you can have your pockets tightened. You might need some internal support with a mesh or consider going down in size so this does not happen again.

Answer: Implant revision Your implants are in front of the muscle. The only thing holding up your breasts is the skin envelope. The anatomical implants are often textured to try and help them stay in position but sometimes that does not work. You will need the implants revised, probably smaller implants and suturing of the pockets laterally and inferiorly.

Answer: Implant malposition This is a good question. There are several factors that contribute to this problem known as implant mal-position. The implants are going too far off to the side and that can happen over time or immediately after surgery. Another contributing factor is the anatomy of the chest wall. Everyone's rib cage and chest wall is different, and sometimes the shape of the chest wall contributes to the way implants are situated on the chest wall, especially when you are laying on your back/supine. If your breast bone is prominent, then the implants will have a tendency to slide off to the side more when you are laying down.
