6 months post-op 255cc, I imagine my implants have settled now? (Photos)

Question

I had 255cc and a breast lift done in aug of 2022. So far, everything has gone really well. It’s taken some getting used to. I posted some before and after. I think my implants have settled in their final position. I don’t know how to really tell though. Are there things I should avoid? I still have yet to go braless. I’m terrified I’ll mess something up. Even when I sleep, I sleep in a sports bra or a cami with build in bra. I see posts if bottoming out. How would I know?

Your breasts have settled at six months post op.  There are no restrictions to your activity level.  It's not a bad idea to give your breasts support with a cami or bra as long as you are comfortable.  You appear to be healing well.  Keep up with any follow up appointments with your surgeon and report any changes or concerns.

Hi & thanks for your question!
It can take up to 6 months for the implants to drop and settle into position, your most likely have. Reach out to your surgeon on his/her guidelines on post op instructions, questions and concerns.  Best wishes!

Thank you for your question and photos! This far out, you are able to go braless if you desire. Wearing a bra will help support your breasts more than not wearing one, but that is up to you and your comfort level. Best of luck!

Dear Affectionate54250,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Your breasts have indeed settled by 6 months.  Your mastopexy (lift) scars are going to continue to heal for a full year.  While you may go braless, remember that gravity is 24/7 and the breasts naturally will go south (faster depending on activity, size of the breast (higher weight) and genetics.
I would suggest using some type of support whenever out and about or whenever not intimate.  Much better over the course of time to have them supported so they do not go 'South'.
Best wishes,
Dr. Taranow
