Implant pockets feel too loose. Will they eventually tighten up?

December 31, 2015
Asked By:jill0786 in Houston, TX

I am 51 yrs old and 9 weeks post op from a mastopexy with implants. I had a previous set for 27 years. These new ones feel like marbles rolling around in my breast. I am only able to bear the "creepy" feeling of being bra less long enough to have a shower. This is not the same experience I had before at all! I can't stand the thought of another surgery. Will the pockets eventually tighten up?
