When Do Breast Implants "Drop" or Fall into Place?

I just came back from my 1 week check up, and my breast implants have not yet dropped. They are so high that they are not even covering my regular breasts. Doctor says that I have to massage them and they will drop. Is this right? I was so flat-chested that now I seem so big or swollen on top, by my chest bone, and small elsewhere. When do they start falling into place?

Yes, 200 cc will make a difference possibly 1/2 to one cup sizes. On your frame 850 cc will be very big. There are potentially more complications with an implant this size, most notably poor soft tissue support and implant droop or displacement. It is not my place to talk you out of this size...
