Implant dropped, is this normal? Can this be fixed? (Photo)

T
Tough463704Dec 24, 2024

Since my surgery I’ve noticed that my implants have been asymmetrical, starting from the incisions, it’s clear one cut is higher than the other. I’m a year post opp and my one implant is clearly lower than the other. My surgeon says it’s from pre-existing asymmetry but the one implant is clearly so much lower. I’m so unhappy with this.

Thanks for your question! Have your surgeon take a look, but if they are not giving you any problems it is fine to keep them in as is. Best wishes!

Dear Joola_3, I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time...

Patient concerns regarding the appearance of their breasts can typically be divided in two pools: volume, ptosis (droop). The procedures to address these issues are as different as the issues themselves. However, these concerns are not mutually exclusive. Many patients, whether they are aware or...
