Can implants after bottoming out, go back up?

Question

Hi. My right implant had bottomed out soon after surgery. Right nipple was too high. Left one normal. Now, nine and a half years later, I have noticed the right one is no longer half and inch apart from left one. They looked more symmetrical, not completely, but alot less wonky. Left one still normal. And I have a mark on my lower breast. The distance between it and the fold is shorter. I cant post photos here. Could it be c. contracture? Universe answering my prayers? What is going on?

Dear Peaceful2294,
I understand your concern. Implants can't move up without surgical intervention, except in the case of capsular contracture. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Without photos, I cannot be specific. However, you may have formed a capsule which is supporting your implant. If you are concerned, go be examined.
