Salt retention concerns - I've dislocated my breasts out of their sockets. Can this be fixed?

Question

I have salt retention in both of my breasts. I just had a mammogram and don't have any lumps or cysts. But I've dislocated my breasts out of their sockets and now they are throbbing all day. I do have an appointment with Duke Cancer Center. Is this something that can be fixed?

Dear sunny0811,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Your description is difficult to interpret.  Are you referring to the breast implants being laterally displaced? I encourage you to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation and to discuss options for correction.

Thank you for your question. I am afraid that the information provided appears incomplete. Breast dislocation is an unfamiliar term, and a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon may be able to answer your question more thoroughly. Good luck on your journey!

The information is insufficient to make a good assessment. 
Consider reposting with before and after pictures. 
I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon. 
It does not sound like you need to be seen by a breast cancer specialist.
