Breast implants do settle

Daryl K. Hoffman, MD answers: Slow implant settling process for transaxillary approach?

I had silicone implants placed submuscular via the transaxillary approach. The disadvantage is that it will not give my PS dual plane access or the ability to do the dual plane (according to him), and it will tend to ride higher and settle slower than through the inframmary approach. Would this mean that I am at a disadvantage of having less natural results because I have full submuscular vs dual plane? I am one week post op, was a preop 32A, and my muscles are holding the implants high close to my collarbone.
