This is the high profile... more

Implant settling

In my practice, it routinely takes about 3 months for the implants to finally reach their final shape and position. That being said, it is difficult to say for certain if your implants will ever achieve the "natural" appearance that you may want without seeing photos or completing a physical exam. Large implants placed over the muscle, in my opinion,... more
