Implant Flipped? (Photo)

Awesome1699Jul 21, 2023

My right implant is starting to look off? Either a double bubble or a flipped implant? I’ve had a virtual consultation with a PS who I am friendly with, and she expressed it seems the implant may have rotated horizontally? I am 6MPO Pics in comment Hoping to get feedback to help ease my mind while I wait for my docs office to open next week. Many thanks!

The difference in appearance between 370cc and 410cc will be subtle. You may lose some apparent volume with the lift as well. The lift will cause the tissue to be tighter and can limit the size implant that can be safely accommodated. Have you discussed your concerns with your surgeon?
