Can Breast Implants Move Out of Place?

Written By Dr. Josh Jacobson

Breast implants can occasionally shift from their original position, a condition known as implant displacement. Here’s what you need to know.

Causes of Implant Displacement

  • Capsular Contracture: Scar tissue formation around the implant can cause it to shift.

  • Trauma: Physical impact or injury can displace the implant.

  • Surgical Technique: Improper placement during surgery can lead to displacement.

Signs of Implant Displacement

  • Asymmetry: Noticeable unevenness in breast size or shape.

  • Pain or Discomfort: Unusual pain or discomfort in the breast area.

  • Visible Movement: The implant may be visibly out of place.

Corrective Measures

  • Revision Surgery: Surgery may be needed to reposition the implant and address any underlying issues.

  • Non-Surgical Options: In some cases, non-surgical treatments like physical therapy can help.
