I'm a 25 with 1 child who was breastfed. I had a bi planar insert 450cc smooth high profile done May 23. (2 mo ago). I had slight tubular breasts W/ some sagging Dr wasn't concerned about; with loss of upper fullness. My left side is soft, you can't feel any implant. My right side you can feel the firmness of the implant. I'm very worried that something is wrong w/ my right side as it hasn't dropped really. I feel like it has a horrible "snoopy" effect, I'm starting to freak out. Help please!

Answer: Implant dropping Dear CountryGirl0924,dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Give your implants additional time to settle into place. Congratulations on your breast augmentation! Although it can be hard to be patient for several months while awaiting your final results to reveal themselves, keep in mind that at two months post-op, you’re still fairly early on in your recovery process. It could take six months or more to see your final results, so don’t panic just yet. Over time, your implants should both “drop and fluff” and settle into a more natural looking and feeling position. If you have specific concerns about your body’s healing process, don’t hesitate to check in with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
