Breast Implant Not Dropped, Uneven Nipples, 1 1/2 Months After Augmentation? (photo)

Thank you for the photos. You are still early in your post operative course. You also may have had some asymmetry pre op.  Breast implants tend to start dropping into place after 3 to 4 weeks. They usually will get to their final position in 6 to 12 months. One will drop faster than the other, also the shape may go through changes. Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's post op instructions. For example; we like message, but some surgeons will have you wait, or do it in a specific manner. Please also let them know your thoughts and concerns.

Thank you for submitting your question and
photo. You were most lilely asymetrical before surgery. You have a good result and your very early in your recovery from breast augmentation surgery. Your
implants will soften and your breasts will change over the next several weeks.
Final results take 6 months. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Best wishes.

     Implants, particularly larger implants in smaller women, may take at least 3 months to drop.   Massage and time usually resolves the issue if the pocket has been dissected properly.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your photos along with your post.

The good news is that you are still at fairly early stage in the recovery process. This translates into a good possibility that the high-riding implant will settle into its pocket naturally like the other one did.

At this point, it is important that you be a little more patient and to think positively. Following your surgeon's instructions religiously is crucial.

I hope that this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry and the best of luck to you.

Hi, after an augmentation and especially in younger athletic type patients the implants can take some time to settle down, up to 3 months or so.
I recommend that you follow up with your surgeon and follow his instructions and avoid any revisions at this point since its only been a few weeks since your surgery.
