I had a breast implant replacement, which I had 320 CC to 560 CC. My old implants were 11 years old and no complaints. I had the surgery in July 2024 and they looked wonderful for a few months. Now, 4 mos out I have started noticing some misshaping on my left side. The inner crease area feels boxy/square, but I can almost pinch the implant back up a bit and it looks normal again? I believe I can feel the implant in this area, as the other side feels completely different and smooth.
Answer: Implants Your inferior medial pocket can be adjusted to help smooth out that area. Going up in size helped create this problem.

Answer: Implant The implant has bottomed out below the border of the pectoralis muscle and caused lower pole / inframammary fold stretch / malposition. This can be fixed with proper internal pocket tightening and support (such as using a scaffold/mesh). I recommend finding someone who has completed an accredited fellowship by the Aesthetic Society who is also a board-certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery).

Answer: Breast Implant Rippling ? I see in the pic a small "point" on your right breast (the side you are pushing inward). Is this the spot you are worried about ?

Answer: Upsizing implants with inner lower knuckling noted cause Based on the one posted photo, that’s the implant shell denting in the bottom inner part of the breast, the capsule or scar tissue has released in that area and allows the implant to cause this folding appearance, and as you describe, it is easily corrected by pushing it back toward the center. Possible treatments would be micro fat grafting in the area under ultrasound to build a layer of Padding so to speak. Best virtual consult with. Fee $2000-$4000.
