Thank you for your question.You are still very early on in your healing and recovery process, so I would caution you from judging your results at this point. It can take 3-4 months for your implants to settle and drop into place. Your muscle, tissue and skin has to stretch to accommodate the additional volume of your implants, and it is during this process that your implants will drop and soften. I would recommend that you follow up with your board certified operating surgeon to discuss your concerns and for an evaluation of your process thus far.
