Hasn't dropped yet or may be capsular contracture? (photo)

Question

Got BA almost 6 weeks ago and it has been a bit difficult. I got 300cc submuscular silicone gel. My right has always been smaller and I feel like its kind of high right now. The left dropped pretty quick. I know its early and both need more time but could it be just that? More time needed for it to drop? Muscle tightness or capsular contracture?

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question and photograph.  My strong advice is to wait a full 4-6 weeks before considering your final result.  During this time your implants will settle into the pocket and any swelling will subside.  Your photograph indicates a great result.  Best of luck.

Hello, good afternoon, thanks for your question. You're still early on healing process, your breasts will last 4 to 6 months to complete heal and settle. It is normal, you will start seeing changes, don't panic, they look beautiful.

Thank you for your questions. In the pictures it looked OK. It takes several more weeks to settle the implants. It is too early for capsular contracture.  Please follow up with your PS.

Mark Broudo, MD · Answer

You need to give them more time to drop and you should be massaging both breasts, but particularly the right one.

Lawrence Bundrick, MD (retired) · Answer

Being only 6 weeks out, your implants still have some settling to do. It is too early to have developed a capsular contracture. Make sure to follow up with your surgeon.
