I can feel my implant moving! Started by: Maya

I am going through the same thing right now! I went down the stairs quickly, and I felt this internal movement, it feels like the implant moving up and down but maybe fluid-like. I am 2 weeks PO and can feel the left implant move as expected, but the right feels different. When I bounce (carefully) up and down and hold my boobs tightly, I still get that sensation in my right. Feels very strange!

I also have the anatomical shape I’m just paranoid if the pocket has come loose and it may turn? Wouldn’t be so worried if I had had rounds.

Any update/progress from you @Maya? I’m seeing the nurse tomorrow for my two-week check anyway so I’ll ask then, but if anyone has any advice in the meantime it would be much appreciated! Xx

Just had my 2WPO with the nurse. She said it’s totally normal, and if they were to turn (which she assured me is unlikely) it probably wouldn’t be until later on anyway.

She did say, though, that now that I can feel them moving I need to make sure they’re staying in place with the bra etc. and make sure I don’t sleep on my front. I’m back to flat sleeping now, and she said if I sleep sideways make sure I put a pillow against/under my side to keep my boobs in place! Of course wearing the bra also xx

@Jaclyn noo only for 6 weeks!!! Not forever, don’t worry ? although I know some girls like to keep it on past the six week point x

Hi girls. I’m experiencing similar, I am 2 weeks post op. Everything has been fine until tonight I was having a little feel and all of a sudden my left side closest to my armpit went all squishy and as felt as if I had lumps that I could move around on the side of my implant- totally freaked out and called my out of hours nurse who advised me I would need to go back to clinic for her to see. No pain/no heat/no redness just a very very squishy area, I’m worried about what this could be, is my implant moving or is this rippling? Or possibly ruptured??? I think I might be panicking too much?

I spoke to some girls recently who have also gone through the stage of feeling them moving loads and they all said it subsided a few weeks later. Once the scar tissue has formed over the capsule we won’t feel it moving so much anymore.

@Rebecca mine feel different every day, it’s so easy to overanalyse! Don’t worry about it too much, but obviously to put your mind at ease I would always double check with the nurse. I haven’t experienced this lump feeling but Intry not to touch them too much as I end up overanalysing, and our bodies are doing so much at the moment for us to heal! So many changes occurring x

ive been having the EXACT same problem, ive got anatomicals so i get so worried its starting to rotate but reading this thread has put my mind at ease. whenever i bend over or lie on my side i feel something move in one boob it’s so weird! sick of looking at my boobs in the mirror trying to work out if they’ve rotated and convincing myself they have? think we just need to let the healing process do it’s magic❤️

Hi Helen. My post op notes stated you may hear gurgling, so I would say this is normal x
