I wanted share what has happened to me after a BA/BL.  I had a BA/BL 3 years ago -silicone -and absolutely love them!  I had to have a revision a few months after surgery, because my right implant was not moving down.  I went to a surgery center, and my p.s. moved it down and it has been fine until last December.  My breast felt wierd - like I could feel the implant alot more.  Not painful, I just knew it was there.   I went to my gynocologist in January and asked her about it, and she told me implants don't move.  A week later I noticed that I had more swelling above my breast - and went to my regular doc, and she said she thought it was my implant.  Implants can move - I didn't know that.  Just got back from my plastic surgeon, and he said it is my scar tissue pushing the implant up.  He can do a procedure in his office, and he will numb me up and make a larger pocket (I assume remove scar tissue - forgot to ask) and the implant will go back into place.  I was so relieved I didn't have to go back to the surgery center!  He also said I will wear something in my bra for a week that will help push the implant back down.  I asked if my underwire bra was to blame, and he said no.  Whew!  It's funny, I always worried about my breasts heading south, not north!!!!!

My surgery was a month ago and mine still haven't settled down - but honestly I don't mind the way they look the way they are.  I've been wearing a breast band to try and get them down... another appt in 2 weeks.  I also don't want another surgery.. so I hope they settle down soon.
