15 years before I was diagnosed with breast cancer I had implants installed. One of the possible complications was having your breasts slide towards your armpits. This was caused by the pocket the doctor creates to tuck the breast implant into being too large and allowing the implant to slide around inside your breast pocket. Pocket revision surgeries are fairly common and shouldn't be anywhere near as invasive as the surgeries us breast cancer patients have already endured.
I had a problem with my right implant being noticeably smaller than my left implant. My doctor thought it may have to do with the breast cavity but it ended up being a defective implant. It was replace in a 1 1/2 surgery with no problems after. It was a simple fix. Sending prayers for a simple fix for you too :)
I have not had that issue but a friend did and the Dr did a 2nd surgery to correct it. I guess it’s more common than what you would think. Hugs 💕
Are you experiencing implant displacement after exchange surgery?
It sounds like you're dealing with implant displacement, which can happen when the pocket created during surgery isn't the exact right size or if the implant shifts after placement. This can cause the implant to move too far apart from where it should be Show Full Answer
