Breast Implant moving 3 years postop - what could this be?

This can happen over time. It sounds like your surgeon did the right thing checking you out to make sure there was nothing serious going on with your implants. Sometimes they move a bit but are not a problem.

Thank you for sharing your question. Without an in-person examination it is difficult to comment on what may be taking place. If you wish for another opinion, schedule a series of in-person secondary consultations in your area.

Dear Tasteful78904,
I understand your concern. 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.

Based on what you describe in your question, further investigation is warranted. My recommendation would be to obtain an ultrasound first to enable a look at the implant, the muscle, and the capsule. Once this is complete, and based on the results, we can determine the next steps.

Your implant may be pressing on a small sensory nerve and causing some discomfort. At one point, you may have torn the capsule some and exposed this little nerve more to the implant, or just tore the capsule somewhat and it will heal. It should slowly improve with time on its own.

Hi and welcome to our forum!In order to adequately evaluate your problem, you require a complete examination. This can't be accomplished over the internet!I recommend reevaluation by your plastic surgeon. If of no help, consider a second opinion. Best wishes...
