Question

Although Im extremly happy with the result( I have 695 cc high profile silicone implants ) I was curious if they will settle / drop any further..My husband complains they are still quite full and high... ....... Thankyou Kittling

Hello,

	Although your husband feels your implants are still too high, your photo shows a rather low position of the implant in your tissue pocket.  At 7 months, I am concerned they will continue dropping, causing significant ptosis (sagging) of the lower pole of your breasts.  If there is concern of too much upper pole fullness, just wait, it will go away as the implant falls.  If you would like less upper pole fulness sooner, you should change you implants to smaller and lower profile ones.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

After 7 months, your breast shape will probably not change any further. The fullness and high level of the implants is probably due to their type and positioning, as determined at the time of your surgery.

Dear Kittling,By 6 months implants have dropped and softened as much as they will.   I agree that you have good results at this point, despite such a large implant for your frame.  Given that you are extremely happy with the results, you should not consider any revisions.

Mark Schwartz, MD · Answer

Since you are almost 7 months postop, your high profile implants are unlikely to drop significantly.  If you are happy with the results you can rest easy, since this is the way large volume, high profile implants typically look. Changing the projection or fill of the upper pole would probably require an implant exchange.

After 7 months the implants are surrounded by scar capsule formation. So NO they will not drop anymore.
