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?
Answer: When do breast implants Drop into place? Breast implants under the muscle can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to drop into place. The chest muscle contracts and pulls the implant up higher than where it was originally placed. Massaging the chest muscle will help to relax the muscle so that the implant will drop into position. The size of the implants can have an effect on how long they take to drop. Larger implants will take longer to drop. How muscular your chest muscles are can also have an effect on the time to drop. Women with bigger chest muscles from working out will take longer to drop.

Answer: 8 weeks to see final results Hi there, thank you for this very good question. It’s very normal for the implants to sit very high particularly after a dual plane or under the muscle surgery. The dissection is under the muscle, the tissues swell and muscle swells and the implants look very high for about 4-6 weeks. Massaging will help this. I send my patients home with a mermaid strap that goes around the chest, it pushes the implants downward. You will typically see your final result at about 8 weeks.

Answer: When Do Breast Implants "Drop" or Fall into Place? It will vary a bit depending on the type of implant used, the size of implant and how tight the pocket was but on average it takes about 6 weeks for implants to fall into place. It takes 12 months though for all swelling to resolve and for you to really see your final results.

Answer: When do breast implants "drop"? Many thanks for asking your question.The dropping of breast implants (also known as bottoming out) refers to them settling and lowering into their pocket over time. This particularly happens with smooth implants, and to a lesser extent with textured implants.Usually it takes 3-months for the implants to settle into their final position, but can sometimes take longer. It sounds like the advice you have been given is appropriate for smooth implants. Please be patient, I am sure your implants will drop as you are hoping - just keep in regular contact with your plastic surgeon for their guidance and reassurance - good luck
