Q1: How long after a breast lift with implants can one conclude they have waterfall deformity? One has dropped and the other is still high, and feels like its lodged up there. I am past the initial 3 months, has my scar tissue fully formed? In researching, I learned about a breast stabilizer and support bra. However, I was not given either and was told to remain braless post-op. Q2: Is there anything I can do to help the breast drop and fluff?
Answer: Breasts Wearing a breast band that sits above your breasts to help put gentle pressure on the implant and encourage it to drop can be used. External ultrasound can also be used to help soften the capsule and let the implant drop. Oral Accolate can also be helpful to soften the capsule which is not yet fully formed. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: 3-6 months for most patients Usually 3-6 months is when the implants reach their final position and at that time the surgeon should determine if the revision is needed or not.

Answer: How long after a breast lift with implants can one conclude they have waterfall deformity? The appearance of waterfall deformity after a breast lift with implants can vary. It’s advisable to wait several months, typically around 6 to 12, allow the swelling to subside and the implants to settle before drawing conclusions about the final result. However, individual healing processes may differ, so it’s essential to consult with your surgeon for guidance and evaluation.
