I'm 5 months post op with 520cc hp Allergan submuscular positioned silicone implants. There still very high in my chest and my surgeon has said this shouldn't be so high still. Any ideas what may have caused them to stay high?

Answer: Implant dropping Dear MadeInIstanbul2018, dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: High implants Thanks for your inquiry, but without an exam it is hard to comment, in general terms if the implants have always been high, it is possible that the pockets are not dissected enough or the muscle is incompletely divided, etc Please discuss with your surgeon and good luck.
