During my three-month check-up, I mentioned to my doctor that I can feel my breast implant. I had a 300cc Mentor moderate plus silicone implant placed under the muscle in December 2013. I'm pleased with the appearance, but recently I noticed rippling on the side and the bottom of my left breast. Why am I experiencing this sensation? Will it go away? I'm currently 5'4, 118 lbs, and a 34D. My general practitioner said it feels fine with no pain.
It is not uncommon to feel a difference in implant presence between the two sides due to variations in soft tissue coverage and surgical techniques. All implants have some degree of rippling, but it is usually less visible or palpable with silicone implants. In the mirror-bounced photo you provided, the left breast appears slightly higher with a lower fold, which may be related to less soft tissue coverage over the left implant. I hope this explanation helps. Best wishes.
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. It is common for breasts to have subtle differences in amount and thickness of breast tissue, and feeling the implant more on one side than the other is not unusual. It is important to regularly perform breast self-examinations and notify your surgeon of any changes. Self-examinations are important for detecting early breast cancer changes as well as identifying early signs of capsular contracture or implant rupture. It appears that you have achieved fantastic results and have healed well. Best wishes!
Breast implants are typically placed in a "dual plane" where the upper part is under the muscle, but the lower part is not. Lack of soft tissue coverage may make the implant more noticeable when touched. Overall, you have a nice breast augmentation result, so try not to stress too much.
Feeling the implant in the lower pole is common when there isn't enough soft tissue coverage. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and seek an evaluation.
