When I was laying on my side the other night and got up out of bed. It felt strange. I looked down and my left breast was all deformed looking. I could tell the implant had moved. It scared me. I moved it back and have been sleeping in a sports bra ever since. My implants are one year old this week. And I have noticed my left breast feels different. It always feels so much heavier then my right.

Answer: Breast implant movement Thank you for your question. Yes, the implants can and do move, most of the time this is not a problem but excessive movement can be problematic. Unfortunately I don't think sleeping in a sports bra is going to correct any problem that has already developed. I would suggest a follow up visit with your surgeon to see what is going on and come up with a solution.Jeffrey Thaxton, MD FACSCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Can my implant move Implants can displace for a variety of reasons including stretch of the capsule. Most common implants displace laterally (to the side) and down. Its probably best to contact your implant surgeon to have it checked out. Good luck
