It has been a month and a half, I think they have dropped but I am not fully sure. My doctor has moved so I can't go to his office and ask. How would I know if they have actually fully dropped?
Answer: What you really what to know.... .....is whether they have dropped "enough". The bottom line is that you should look at the position of the implants and decide if you like the amount of fullness on top (if it is still too much, then you want them to drop more). If you're happy with where they are sitting, then it is time to LOCK THEM IN. This means it is time to wear a supportive brassiere that gives a little lift to the breasts. However, if you do want them to drop some more, then stay in a loose top such as a cami top or tank. Wearing a tight bra before they drop with keep them from settling into a better position.Because of my technique and postop regimen, most of my patients will have their implants in the desired location within 6-8 weeks.Hang it there. Things should work out.Best of luck.

Answer: Implants settle over time and if you've reached a point where you don't want any more settling, support with a bra is needed for months to allow your tissue to 'secure' itself. If your implants are excessively full on top, then you should be doing things to help them settle faster. Your surgeon should have transferred your care to someone else as surgeon's can't simply leave and abandon their patients so find out who that is and seek further advice.
