    Hi everyone,
    I’m really sorry for the long winded post.
    I had 500cc silicone smooth implants August 2019 (not with mya).
    I was borderline uplift but the surgeon was happy to proceed with just implants.
    I was happy with my results at the 6 weeks appointment.
    That night was the first time I removed my post op bra for longer than 10 minutes and slept in a normal non wired bra.
    When I woke up the second morning of sleeping in a normal bra, my left implant had flipped 😩
    I rang straight away to try and get advice and they promised to get a nurse to call me back. I luckily managed to manoeuvre it back into place. I never received a call back.
    This has happened 8 times in 11 months, once with the right and 7 times with the left. Each time I’ve luckily been able to move it back round.
    I’ve had my 6 month check today which was delayed due to COVID. Ive not been able to get an appointment during the period before COVID. I’ve voiced my concerns and he said my results are normal.
    I asked if there was anything at all that could be done and he said well, I could put some stitches in but due to the risk of infection and due to it being a complicated procedure, it’s not worth it right now. To me, that sounds like he just can’t be bothered to fix it 🙄
    Photo attached is of how much they move when I lay down.
    I am unable to sleep without a bra due to it being extremely uncomfortable for my skin in between and a bigger risk of the implant(s) flipping. The surgeon said just continue wearing a support bra to bed. Surely that’s not the answer?
    Is there anything at all I can do to try and sort this out without costing a lot more money?
    Thank you for reading if you’ve got this far

    Who did you go to please? As am currently researching places and surgeons. I would keep on until they do something as surely this isnt right. Do you think maybe you need bigger implants to prevent this as pocket is too big for the size of implant? Im randomly guessing here. Sorry but pretty new to the world of implants so cant really help but i hope you get a solution x
