Are my implants dropping too fast? (Photos)

Question

I am 4 weeks post op, 400 cc HP Motiva, so far I’ve had no complications and I am happy with the results, but now I’m scared that I am dropping too fast. When I see other girls, they seem to be at similar stage like my boobs about 2-3 months post op. I am scared that I will be bottoming out soon. My boobs seem to have scars exactly in the crease, nipple almost in the middle of the boob and from the side they look dropped. Is it normal, or do I have a big risk of bottoming out?

Dear Jasmin.Congratulations on your Breast augmentation. You look great and do not appear to be dropping too fast. You’re 1 month out and the result is very beautiful. You might want to discuss with your plastic surgeon these concerns and inquire about switching to a more supportive bra. Best. Dr. Aldo

Dear Jasmin_xoxo,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

Your breasts look very normal.  Everyone heals differently.  It is quite unlikely that they will bottom out, just because of how they look today.  Try not to overthink or over analyse anything at this stage & be happy, as you say you are.  Regards

Based on the photo, you are healing well and do not seem to be bottoming out. You are still early in the healing process and you will still see significant improvements in the coming months. Usually, at 3 months, you will see almost the final appearance and will then be able to decide whether or not to have revision surgery. The best resource of information would be your board certified plastic surgeon as he/she knows your condition best.

Greetings. It seems that your result is good. You are still in the early post-op period so things can still change in the next 4-5 months. Remain patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

You look perfect but if you are concerned, you can ask your plastic surgeon to prescribe a well fit underwire bar to hold everything in place until final healing at 3-4 months.
