Can breast implants continue to drop after a year? (Photo)

Thanks for your question! In my opinion, after a year, they are pretty much where they are going to be. IT may be time to discuss a revision. Good luck!

Typically implants will sit high in the initial post op period as lower pole tissue needs time to settle into place. This process requires patience and can take several weeks to occur.

It is unlikely that high-riding implants will settle/drop after 1.5 years post op. Banding and massage can help but only to a point. I will typically reassure patients up to 6 months post operatively. Beyond that, optimism wanes.

Based upon your photos alone, you do not appear to be significantly high-riding. The implants seem to have settled to the level of your fold. However, there is no substitute for an in-person exam.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

No, the implants will probably not move now since you have healed. I would suggest going down in profile and also going a little smaller so that the implant fits your frame. Your inferior pockets could be lowered if you must keep this size, but long term you might increase the risk of bottoming out from the weight.
