Hello, and thank you for this question. There are many factors that determine how long it will take your implants to settle. What is the quality of your skin envelope and how will the reconstruction be done.
Thank you for your excellent question. Sientra high strength cohesive gel implants, so called "gummy bear" implants, come in both round and textured surfaces for breast augmentation and reconstruction. Smooth implants will typically settle around 4 weeks after surgery, though final results may take several months. Textured implants are designed to stay where they are placed, as a result, they do not settle. Hope this helps
Usually when patients ask about implants settling in they are referring to smooth round implants that can settle a bit. Textured shaped implants (gummy bear, form-stable) do not settle but are intended to stay where they are placed. They are often a good option for reconstruction post mastectomy.
The answer to your question depends on he shell type. Smooth implants can take three months to settle. The textured implant is designed to stay pretty much where they are placed. Good luck and be well.

Its difficult to tell from your photos. It could be an allergic reaction so you need to be evaluated in person by your surgeon. Good luck and be well.
Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most...
You can always expect quite a bit of weight gain after anesthesia. This often lasts about three weeks after surgery but can certainly remain beyond this. You can expect your weight to normalize over time. The weight of the implants themselves is a bit more than 2 pounds.
