I have only just had my operation so I am not too worried at the moment. However the front view looks fine but the side view seems very high. Will this settle in time and what shape will I expect?

Answer: How Long Until Breast Implants Under the Muscle Drop? The photos you have provided appear just fine, but I do agree that the implants do appear to to be "riding high" on the lateral, or side view. I wouldn't be overly concerned if your breast augmentation was quite recent. It often takes a few months for the implants to settle into place, especially when placed under the muscle. Part of this may be related to the pectoralis muscles not being fully relaxed, and swelling may also play a part. Definitely discuss with your plastic surgeon as he/she should be able to allay your concerns. Thanks for sharing!

Answer: Motiva implants settling with time. Your early result with Motiva implants looks about right. These are essentially smooth surfaced implants and as such will behave differently from traditional macro-textured devices. It is predicted that they will settle into the pocket more readily and the gel will mould into a better shape with time. Most surgeons will counteract this tendency to drop by creating a very tight pocket for the implant initially. This will develop into a more natural shape later. It is very unlikely that your implants will look too high in 6 months.
