Will my Breasts Settle After Breast Lift?

mbinal
I had a breast lift without implants twelve days ago to correct tuberous breasts that had lost almost all shape due to a 70-pound weight loss. They sagged to my elbows and lay almost flat against my chest. My new breasts are a vast improvement, but they look like Barbie's--they defy gravity by sticking straight out and are quite far apart. Will they eventually "settle", with a "fold" under them, like natural breasts? Or should I start shopping for a coconut bra?
