Question
Ladies, I have a question about feeling my implants move. My right implant is bigger and lower. It moves around very freely (maybe too freely) When i bend over, it slips up and almost hurts when i stand back up. I hold it when I bend over because I don't like the feeling. I still feel bubbles when I move around. Is this normal?
On the flip side, my left boob doesn't move. It's like bolted on to my chest. It is higher and firmer than the right. When I bend over, it stays right in place. If i squeeze it up (massage) it does nove, but not nearly as much as the right. I don't know which one is normal, the right or the left.
I am 11 weeks post op with saline 475 filled to 525 under the muscle. Anyone experienced anything similar?Suzi


Answer
Hi Suzip, I have something similar, so I think. I posted with my issue some time ago. I was also wondering which was normal.
I went to a PS who told me one pocket was bigger than the other one. I have my left boob which looks wonderful to me standing, go almost back to the throat when bending over, while the right one stays put, but still moves freely. It bothers me sometimes and i do make sure to put my hand above it before I bend over. The PS told me that there was no need for a revision. I have under the muscle and asked if I went over would it help. His answer was that my boob may want to go back to the under the muscle position. ( I dont believe that since there are girls that have gone from unders to overs with no problem) But then again, everyone is different.
I am at 6 mos and feel that its not as bad as when I first got them done.
Dont panic, You are only 11 weeks, so there is still lots of healing to be done.
By the way, the PS that told me this was not the original PS.http://www.makemeheal.com/pictures/viewAlbum.php?albumid=1640

Thanks Yayi,
When I went to my PS, he basically told me I was crazy and nothing was wrong. Whichever is normal, I can deal with it, I just wish they were the same. Since my left doesn't move as much, I am always concerned with CC and since my right moves too much, I am concerned with bottoming out. Of course, my PS said everything is fine and released me until 6 months.Suzi

Suzi,

Answer
I have smooth, saline implants under muscle. My PS said they are both moving good in the pocket. But my right one moves more. I would forget that i even have implants, if not for the right one. If i jump, i feel the implant move and when I bend over, I feel it slide up and when i lay down it falls to the side more. It's great for cleavage because I can push it wherever I want. It looks very natural. The left on the other hand, is just there. It moves if I move it, but naturally it tends to stay put.
As I said, I've already went to my PS and he said I am fine, nothing is wrong. it just feels weird and the difference between the 2 does concern me.Suzi


Answer
Mine are textured over the muscle and when I bend over, I sometimes get a funny "scraping" sensation in lefty - I think it must be the textured surface rubbing. It doesn't hurt at all and I am used to it, will be a year post op next Tues. This is the one which had more http://www.makemeheal.com/pictures/viewAlbum.php?albumid=293.

Answer
I guess I'll have to get used to it. I remember waking up during surgery (I only had IV sedation) and my PS was having problems with my righty and bleeding. He had to remove the implant and put it back in 2 times because I was bleeding. I've always felt like there was fluid in there although he said if there was a little fluid, it would absorb.Suzi


Answer
I also woke up during my IV sedation in a lot of pain because he was having problems getting the implant in there. I don't remember what side he was doing when I woke up though..I think it was the final touches on both breasts. I just remember saying "it huuuuurts" and the PS saying "it's ok,almost done, hang in there" as he was shoving it in. Kinda scary but that was it.
I tried to feel where they "land" when I bend over, and I will try again with a marker to see if it is the same. It looks like it is about the same though...I don't know why I can feel it so much in the one and not in the other though. Maybe it is because my lefty was smaller, less breast tissue, so I feel it move more since there is less "padding" for it naturally?


Answer
I bent over to see where they "land" also. It looks to be about the same. I just really feel it in the right side. I seem to always feel that one gurgling and moving and sloshing...it's not really painful, just strange. i don't like it at all. Hopefully it gets better, but I don't think it will.Suzi
