Breast Lift / Implants 6 Week Post-op - is This Normal Settling?

I know they say give atleast 3 mo for implants to settle and swelling to diminish, but I am thinking that if they setttle too much more I am going to be saggy again. I also have hot spots at the bottom of my bubbies is this normal? I know everyone is different, and I am just wondering.. Also, I was told NO bra that holds you tight, up, or in. so wearing a sports bra I feel like I sag.
