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 till the side view drops a bit? Thanks for the question. this is a very common question in clinic and sub pectoral implants take time to drop. your results are very early days and implant will drop and fluff. It's important to secure the inframammary fold so that the fold do not t drop and only implant drops in lower pole. the Motiva implants are nano textured and they do drop nicely to give a natural results.

Answer: I had a high profile motiva 325cc implant under muscle. How long till the side view drops a bit? Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage and will continue to improve as the swelling subsides and the implants continue to settle into their desired position. This usually proceeds over the next several weeks as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Follow-up closely with your surgeon for additional restrictions/instructions and the potential use of bras/garments or massage that may encourage the implant to settle appropriately. If still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Answer: Implants may take several weeks to a couple of months to assume final volume distribution. Swelling can artificially support the volume of the breast implant making them appear artificial. As a swelling subsides which may take weeks the breast will look more natural.

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.
