Help! Is it normal for under muscle implants to float around your chest? (Photo)

July 3, 2015
Asked By:Evasmom in Tampa, FL

I had a breast augmentation in 2001. My implants are under the muscle, saline. They never settled and float all over my chest. It's very embarrassing and uncomfortable when I lean over or lay on my back they go up to my clavicle. Could this be prevented? I need revision and a lift now but I'm afraid this will happen again.
