Do reconstructed silicone implants still need to "drop and fluff"? (photo)

June 8, 2016
Asked By:Canadagal71 in Canada, KY

I am in the process of breast reconstruction after two separate staged mastectomies. I had my right tissue expander filled to 480cc and then exchanged a week ago for a permanent silicone inspira implant 485g. Will my implant still "drop and fluff" even though a pocket was already created with the expander?
