Normal for an implant to flip over???

Moosaysthcow · 09-01-2009, 11:49 AM

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

I would believe this is a somewhat unusual situation that an implant can roll over and flip easily like you describe. Side to side rotation is common but flipping over? Very interesting.... I would go get another opinion if it keeps happening.
