Antibiotics and Anti-inflammatory Drugs to Help Breast Implant Drop?

6 weeks post-op. Cant get to surgeon so went to family dr. who precribed me antibiotics and a anti-inflammitory. theres no pain or sweelling. I went to see the dr because my right implant is sitting high still, its more oval as opposed to the left breast which has dropped and looks like a normal breast! should i take the antibiotics and antinflammitory?

Breast asymmetry following breast augmentation

Clearly there is some room for professional disagreement. I believe and have photographs to show that implants drop. This may take anywhere from 3-9 months after surgery. I don't believe, however, as the others have mentioned that antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are of any benefit.

Why this protocol? A waste of time in my opinion. You have other issues as for size difference and high riding implants. My guess is a poor surgery was preformed. You may need revision after 3 month more. From MIAMI DR. B

The use of antibiotics to lower an implant is shameful and reflects poorly on your Family doctor. I would leave it here. From what I see you would probably need... more

Breast implants do not drop.

Hi. I know you don't want to hear this, but breast implants do not drop.  They have to be put in the right place during surgery.  You will probably need a revision in a few months.  Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories will not help.
