When Do Breast Implants "Drop" or Fall into Place?

February 20, 2009
Asked By:AZ HELP in QUEEN CREEK

I just came back from my 1 week check up, and my breast implants have not yet dropped. They are so high that they are not even covering my regular breasts. Doctor says that I have to massage them and they will drop. Is this right? I was so flat-chested that now I seem so big or swollen on top, by my chest bone, and small elsewhere. When do they start falling into place?
