Question

I am two week post op 420 cc Saline implants my implants haven't dropped at all is that normal for them to be up very high still

Jeffrey J. Roth, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question.  Thank you for the photos.  You are early in your post operative course. The implants will typically rise up after surgery.  They typically start to fall at one month.  They can take 6 to 12 months to get to their appropriate position.  This is the "drop and fluff" phenomenon that folks are talking about.  Please follow your Plastic Surgeon's instructions.  Each Board Certified Plastic Surgeon may have their own protocol, and each patient is different.  Let them know your thoughts.  Jeffrey J.

I agree, your implants are pretty high. At two weeks, it's way too early to assume that this is your final result. My guess is that your  skin and muscles were quite tight. In time, all should improve and you will look more natural. Be patient and good luck

Emily B. McLaughlin, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. You are still early in your healing process. Give it more time and keep in mind it is not uncommon to have swelling. Breasts may not heal at the same rate, causing one breast to appear different than the other. It can take up to 12 weeks for the implants to settle and you to see the final result. Follow up with your board certified surgeon to address your concern. Good luck!
