Is it normal for an implant to flip over???

[Moosaysthcow]

I recently had implants that apprently flipped over...cause they changed shape 3 weeks ago and 3 days ago i flipped them back over, I have 450cc silicone smooth round HP overs... i also had a benelli lift...I called and left a message with my PS and i called today to see if she got message and this was the message i got.. It is Normal. and that its cause i have a large pocket... I know i need a benelli lift redo im 8 months post and have drooped again...My PS has told me that my pocket was naturally large that my implant just slide right in.... is that right????
I have a bad feeling I may be head butting with her to get this fixed.. I do not feel that an implant that flips over... not just rotates around.. is normal.. what do you think???

Thanks

Dear Moosaythecow:

Yep, they can flip. It is more common with high profile implants because they are more spherical. Smooth implants slide in the pocket and can easily rotate. Usually hey just spin in place; however, when the pocket is larger, it is easier for the implant to also flip over.

This is not usually a problem. Because the implants are soft and the front and back have about the same shape i is hard to tell if an implant has flipped over. If they get stuck on end, then it is more obvious that some thing is rotated.

As time goes on the pocket usually contracts and it becomes harder to flip them, but implants are soft and deform easily so they can always be flipped if you are trying to flip them. You may need to wear good support during the day and even a soft bra at night to help keep them in place, and see if this helps settle things down.

Hi thank you for responding so fast... I wear a good bra daily and i wear a bra wireless at night, have everyday since i got my breast augmentation... when my implant flipped over it was very noticeable.. i had a flat odd shape. and ripples and such on top of my breast where i had never had them before.. when i flipped them back i was at a leaning over position and surprised me it wasnt hard... It my PS being honest when saying I naturally had a large pocket.. I thought the PS is the one who makes the pocket and so i feel she made me too big.....what would ones options be concerning this... is it really not a big deal? I have googled and asked and no one else really has this happen.. except for anatomical shaped ones.... My PS keeps saying i have a natiral large pocket and poor skin elasticity.. besides the flipping incident they also flop to the sides...

advice?
