I am having 550 cc silicon implants placed over the muscle. How long does it take them to drop and how does that compare to implants placed under the muscle?
Answer: Subglandular Breast Implants Take 3 Months to Drop to Final Position
Thank you for your question.
Subglandular Breast Implants drop to their final position sooner than do Submuscular Breast Implants in most people.
You will notice significant improvement at 6 weeks but it takes 3 months to reach a final position in most patients with Subglandular Breast Implants. Implants placed under the muscle can take longer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: How Long Will It Take for Subglandular Implants to Drop? It's a great question. Implants above the muscle tend to drop a little quicker, but still take three months to settle into their final position. Implants under the muscle take up to six months to settle into their final position. It's important to continue to be patient with the process and follow your surgeon's instructions closely. Congratulations on your surgery!

Answer: Time frame for subglandular implants to drop? Thank you for the question. Implants typically start to move downward at one month. It may take 12 months for them finally to get into position. This seems to be true with either pocket placement. Please let your board certified plastic surgeon know your thoughts. Together, you will make an appropriate plan. Please follow the recommendations that they might give you.

Answer: When do Implants drop after augmentation Thank you for your question.Implants always appear high and tight for the first few months. I tell patients to expect up to 3 months for them to drop regardless of the location. This is normal and as the skin stretches, the implants settle into the final location which will be lower than how they appear initially. As the skin stretches, the implants will not only drop, but the breasts will soften and feel less tight. good luck

Answer: Three to four months generally When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.This process tends to occur sooner in one breast than the other, so don't be alarmed if you find that your left drops before the right or vice versa.
