My question says it all. I notice that after breast augmentation, pretty much all woman has a period of this "bulgy" look at the top of the breast. Some say its the implant that hasn't dropped yet, or muscle not relaxed, and some say its from swelling..What exactly is happening in that area? I am completely pleased with my result, but from the side it looks funny (from that upper pole uneven look after surgery) How long does that normally last? What is it exactly that causes that?

Answer: Drop and Fluff When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.

Answer: Upper Pole Fullness Upper pole fullness after breast augmentation may be due to several factors. Submuscular implant placement results in significant though temporary swelling of the superior aspect of the muscle. Implants placed under the muscle tends to rise in the pocket in the early post-operative period due to the pumping action of the muscle squeezing the implant up along the chest wall. It's important to wear a restrictive binder above the breasts during this early period and to perform massage to push the implants down in their surgical pockets. This process may take weeks, on many occasions one or both submuscular implants might not "drop" and revision surgery may be indicated to reinstate the implants.
