My Wife Just Got a Breast Augmentation About 5 Months Ago with Dr Pousti Who Did a Great Job but I Had a Couple Questions...

#1 I saw as she leaned over me it looked like the implants haven't fully dropped yet it seemed like the bottom was around the nipple area which makes sense cuz the bottom of her breast isnt full yet because seems the implants havent fully dropped #2 she said they aren't as big as she wanted or expected with 500cc implants & that girls with less cc look much bigger i just encourage her & say they look great & will look bigger & fuller once they drop & fluff as I've heard. Is this normal & right?

Breast Augmentation Results?

Hi John, thank you for the question and your kind words. Please let your wife know that I would be more than happy to discuss her concerns in the office after examination any time.

Implants settling

Implants can take up to six months to settle or drop as shown in an article by Dr. Burkhadt years ago. When the implants are in the proper location the breasts will appear fuller and rounder than when they are sitting up to high. If they don't settle then surgery to reposition them may be indicated. This should be discussed with your wife's surgeon.
