Will my silicone implant that is currently poking through my breast tissue stay that way?

I am sorry to hear about your concerns. Unfortunately, breast implant rippling/palpability may occur regardless whether the breast implants are placed above or below the pectorals major muscle. It tends to be more of a problem when implants are placed above the pectorals major muscle. Barring weight gain, it is unlikely that your situation will improve  significantly. Sometimes, revisionary surgery may be necessary to improve the feel  of the breast in the area involved. I have found the use of acellular dermal matrix very helpful in this regard.  Best wishes.

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. It can happen at any time regardless of whether or not the implant is placed above or below the muscle. Unless you gain a lot of weight (which I wouldn't advise), there is little chance that this will improve. Best, Dr. Nazarian

I appreciate your question.

If your implants are above the muscle, implants can be more palpable.  Especially in the lower pole of the breast. Or if you do not have much breast tissue covering the implant.   The implants will be need to be switched to under the muscle with the use of ADM for this to be resolved.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!
