How long does it take for breasts to settle after breast implant removal and lift? (photos)

The majority of the skin changes will have resolved or settled after 3 months fellowing your procedure. However, smaller changes will continue to occur for another 3 months following that. Before evaluating your results and/or making a decision for revision I would wait at least 6 months from your procedure. Be sure to check in regularly with your PS so they can be familiar with the rate of change occurring. Best of luck!

It's still too early to judge your results but I can appreciate your concern. I encourage you to continue to follow your surgeon's instructions and to discuss your concerns. A revision of your lift if indicated wouldn't be recommended for a few months.

The time it takes for breasts to settle after implant removal and lift can vary among individuals. Typically, initial changes are noticeable within a few weeks, but final results may take several months as swelling subsides and tissues adjust. It’s crucial to follow post-operative care instructions and consult your surgeon for guidance on recovery timelines.

I would suggest that you evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed approximately 6 months after it was done. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with longer-term.

It should take around 6 months for your breasts to settle.  At that point you can talk to you Plastic Surgeon about any concerns you may have. Good Luck

While it certainly seems like a long time, actually 10 weeks post-op is relatively recent when it comes to breast tissue settling after a procedure like yours.  Sometimes it will take 4 to 6 months or longer for the tissues to stabilize and final results to become apparent.  It may actually take longer for repeat procedures to heal than for a primary procedure because already existing scar tissue and fibrosis in the tissues may take longer to relax and soften.  While nobody can be sure right now that your breasts will improve or if so by how much, I would say that there is a strong likelihood that they will soften more and change as time goes on.  Follow the advice of your surgeon closely and stay in close contact with him or her regarding your concerns.  Good luck.

In general, around 3-6 months.  Gravity usually wins so the concern for tissue that hasn't settled at two months is typically obviated by waiting a bit.  The nipples can be expected to point more forward once that process is complete.You should of course talk to your own plastic surgeon about this.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100

Typically you should allow a minimum of 3 months for the tissue to settle. In some cases the tissue settles sooner, but can sometimes take longer. With time the skin and tissue will relax and should round out more. I would recommend consulting with your plastic surgeon at your next follow up visit about your concerns.
