I had breast implant TUBA procedure on June 10, 2009. Immediately after surgery (next day), my right breast looked like the implant had dropped (not a lot but a noticeable bubble was present). My surgeon said that to correct the problem, I need to wear an underwire bra 24/7 for 6 weeks and the pocket should heal in the right place. Is this a good way for the problem to be fixed or should it be surgicaly repaired?

Answer: External compression may be helpful A non surgical method such as wearing a tight fitting bra to set and develop the inframammary crease is a good option at two weeks. The capsule around the breast implant really forms during the first 3 - 4 weeks. It is possible that this tight compression may help you set the crease. It is certainly worth a try and if not successful then a surgical procedure to raise the crease will be needed.

Answer: The implant will settle lower If the pocket is dissected lower on one side, it will most likely heal that way. This is a problem that can occur with the TUBA procedure but to be honest, it can happen with any augmentation procedure, just more commonly with TUBA.
