Why do implants sometimes move position?
Implants may move in the years following breast augmentation. The implants may drop to a lower position or slide to the side of the chest wall. Many variables contribute to whether or not implants move, including initial pocket dissection, implant size, and patient body type. Textured implants are less likely to move than smooth implants. If implant movement causes a suboptimal breast appearance, a revision operation may be warranted.
