Are my implants too far apart when I lay down? (photos)

July 22, 2016
Asked By:kara109 in Toronto, ON

I am 3 months post op and I feel as though my implants were placed too far apart, or my surgeon made the pockets too big for my implants. When I lay back, my implants fall really far to the side and I feel as though they go too far to the side, exposing my chest bones and I fear this is not the result I should have. Also, on the inside on my left implant in my cleavage, I feel a tugging/ a bit of pain and I don't believe this is normal
