I recently noticed that surgeons have different preferences when it comes to breast implant pocket size. Observing photos, I notice that generally the implant sits quite high post surgery and drops over over time. My friend got implants and they were never high. They looked great from day 1. Her surgeon said his patients don't need to wait for implants to drop. He mentioned that other surgeons create a larger pocket. Why would a surgeon prefer a small pocket over a large one?
