When Do Breast Implants Settle In?

The first word of advice would be: don't "freak our" yet as you are very early in your recovery. Breast implants always seem high on your chest wall in the beginning because the muscle and skin of the lower portion of the breasts need time to stretch and allow the implants to drop.

Strong chest muscles and breast implants

It may take sometimes a couple months before implants will drop into position after a breast augmentation. If a breast lift was done at the same time it may take longer. For someone who has very developed chest muscles such as body builders or many cross-fitters, most surgeons will recommend an breast implant be placed "above" the muscle. This allows the implant to lay with minimal distortion and without disturbing the pecs. Also, the pectoralis... more
