This is very annoying.. I feel the implant moving up when I flex my pec muscle, and down when I relax the muscle. Only on my left breast. I thought implant shouldn't move when it over the muscle, what's going on?!:( I keep flexing my pecs without even thinking. And my left boob Goes up every time, I feel it, sooo annoying, Ahhh...
I was suppose to see my PS on the 02/12/16 but it got reschadualed to the 02/29..

Hmmm, it like one of your boobs is under the muscle and one is over the muscle? Could it be scar tissue around the implant causing that?

Muscle Flex Deformity. A lot of us have it. I wouldn't worry about that too much. If he created a pocket to place them under then ended up placing them over that could take a long time to heal or may not heal at all because he removed the muscle away from the chest wall.

I am just reading your post and just have a few comments that might help. I am much older than you just turned 60 and had a lift and breast augmentation November 13. I had some minor complications post 23 days had a hematoma which was very rare but besides that everything was pretty normal. I think the things you're feeling and worrying about her normal and most people have doubts of some kind after the surgery. For me my breasts felt like a foreign object on my body. It has been 3 1/2 months and that feeling is just starting to go away. I think we become much more critical of the way our breasts look after the surgery because were always critiquing them. Are mine perfect, no, but in the end I'm glad I did it and I'm happy with the results. I know it's hard to be patient but the best thing I can tell you is just give it some time. I definitely wouldn't have them removed us they were really hurting you for some reason. Just more chance of complications that no one really needs. Of course that is not my decision it's all about what you really want. Good luck.

Two months passed by..
Things are going smooth. Celebrated my 27th birthday in Vegas, got to show off my girls in low cut dresses lol. I like how my breast look with bra on. I think it's perfect size for my frame ( I'm 5'2" 97lb) my current bra size is 32d in VS.
I can't believe how much my breast changed since surgery, some for good, some for not so good..
I will start with positive side;)
My breast no longer feel too tight, looks like skin loosened up a bit, they've gotten a bit softer and I'm getting use to my breast weight.

All my concerns are with my Left breast..:( The right one dropped more and it actually looks and feels great ( the only thing I would change in my right boob is size of Areola, it stretched little bit and looks bigger the left areola) .
The left breast shape different then right, it still has visible rippling in the cleavage, and u can see edge of the implant through skin (on cleavage). The Areola on left breast points to the side ( I feel like the implant is pushing to the cleavage more then to the side and that makes Areola to point sideways.. I don't know if you understand what's I'm talking about lol:)))
Also I have this weird feeling in my left breast, When I flex left pectoralis muscle I feel and see how implant moves with it.. When I try to flex my right pectoralis , the implant doesn't move at all! I don't know why this is happening to my left breast.. any thoughts ? My husband thinks maybe it has something to do with what happened during surgery.. my dr. tried to place implant under muscle on left side, but for some reason ( can't remember) he end up placing implants above the muscle, And had to close up pocket he made under the muscle on left breast...

Just when I find peace with my self (exepted my new breast, the way how it feels and finally letting booby blues go..) I have concerns with how they look:( I really liked how they looked right after the surgery, but now.. Not so.. THey aren't as perfect as I wanted them to be. I know breast aren't twins , but I had the surgery to get them as perfect as it can be.. I feel like I will have to have revision at 6 months post op, to fix rippling at least, who know what else will happen from now on..

I hope everything works out! I would recommend seeing another doctor. I'm not sure where you are located but dr hochstein in Miami is a really good plastic surgeon. Another one I recommend is dr Dubrow in Cali. Even if you don't get the surgery by them it would be helpful to at least have a consultation online. Best of luck!

I see that you have the lollipop incision. If you would've got the lollipop incision with the anchor incision I think you would've had better results giving you a higher lift.

Don't worry be patient I also felt all those things I am 3 months post op now ans finally feeling like they are mine and so happy I did them. Massage the areas with hardening it helps I also have the same thing on my right verticals incision and a little area around my areola. They have gotten softer since I've been massaging them. I've been using scar guard for the verticals incisions and bicerorneum around the areola. If you go to my page you will see how good it's working. Good luck on your road to recovery my doctor says it could take 6 months to a year for you to feel totally normal again so be patient very patient lol

I know exactly how you feel. My breasts also lost volume after children . I had implants that were way too big for 10 years. I'm a similar size to you and I think my.implants were even bigger. There were times when I liked them, my partner certainly did! But mostly I regretted it. I had them removed 3 years ago. My breasts looked terrible to start with but I didn't mind. I was just glad to get them out. They look fine in bras but I'm now looking into a breast lift. I went to see a and he suggested a lift with or without 150 impants. I can't decide but reading your review has reminded me of the feel I had after my first surgery. Xx

Implants are tempting lol
If I could go back, I would've gotten breast lift only ( and maybe consider fat transfer..)
Now, I'm afraid my girls will look terrible if I get explant, Since I already had lift done.
