Could my implant have moved

3 Replies

i had an expander implant which was then replace with a permanent one in September 2014. This may sound crazy but I think I can feel the implant above the muscle where it is fitted, its sort of squashy. Could it have always been like that and I am not very observant or has it moved somehow? It definitely looks more puffy than the other side.

To be honest I have no idea but a call to your breast care nurse could put your mind at rest. X

Thank you I don't like to bother her when she is so busy with people who are not in a good place.

I don’t know either, but I think I may have read somewhere that this can happen. Best get on to the breast care people to get some proper advice. Good luck.
