I had a breast augmentation 5 weeks ago. 550cc high profile silicone under muscle. I do not feel that they have made any progress with movement/dropping. I do understand that it can take up to 6 months but shouldn't there be some movement in that direction? I have attached pictures. Picture 1 before surgery picture 2 day after surgery picture 3 1 week after picture 4 2 weeks after picture 5 4 weeks picture 6 5 weeks after. Do you see any changes as I do not?
Answer: 5 weeks post op - why do I see no evidence of settling of implants You are still early in your post operative recover period from placement of rather large implant. Your tissues will gradually stretch to accommodate your implants and your look with soften with time. You should continue to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her recommendations. I would expect to see significant changes between now and 4-6 months following your surgery so try to be patient with your results as your body heals.

Answer: Artificial appearing breasts due to swelling may persist for many weeks after breast augmentation. Part of the unusual appearance of the breasts is the use of high profile prostheses. Even without the use of this type of breast implant swelling can artificially support the volume of the prosthesis for many weeks after the augmentation. Keep in touch with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast augmentation post op, some advices: Thanks for the question. Its early in your post op to talk about final results. Its normal to have the implants in a high position till the swelling goes down. I recommend you to be patient and to follow your surgeon advices. If after 6 months still like that, send your photos to us to give you more advices. Kind regards

Answer: Drop & Fluff Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. You have fairly large breast implants. It will take many months for you to see your final result. Typically, the drop and fluff process will take between 2-6 months and with larger implants, you may be on the slower end of the average. I recommend that you wait a few more months to evaluate results and let your Plastic Surgeon know if you have concerns in the meantime.All the best

Answer: Timeline 5 Weeks post op - why do I see no evidence of dropping/settling of implants? (photos) Thank you for your question and photographs. After placement of implants, the appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. In your case the swelling from surgery is flattening your implants and holding them high on your chest. As the swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance. For most women this dropping begins to take place 6-8 weeks after surgery, but as you had large implants placed it may be delayed a bit longer. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.
