400 cc mentor gel implants. Is this normal? About how long to start dropping and fluffing? Will my nipples be higher?
Answer: Implants dropping Thank you for your question. It is too early to judge your final result, it usually takes 3 months after surgery for the implants to drop in their pocket. I would recommend asking your surgeon about protocol for massaging your breasts and what types of bras to wear.

Answer: 3 days post up square shape and low nipple. 400 cc mentor gel implants. Is this normal? I tell all my patients that, on awakening from surgery, they will see that their implants are hard, high, and far apart. Your implants will drop over the next few months, and the breasts will soften. Keep in touch with your surgeon. All the best.

Answer: Early Postop Appearance Thanks for your question. It takes several months for the swelling to settle after a breast augmentation. Over this period, they drop and settle into place. I would wait until 3 months have passed before assessing the final outcome. I would suggest making an appointment with your surgeon at that stage for a review.

Answer: Breast Implant Position Thank you for your question. Your breast implants appear to be rather high, which is completely normal at only 3 days post-op. You are still very early in your healing process. It can take several weeks for the implants to settle and each implant often settles at different rates. The appearance of your breasts will change gradually in the next few months. Once your implants begin to settle, your breasts will round out. If you are having serious concerns about your recovery process. I recommend reaching out to your surgeon as he or she is best equipped to answer questions regarding your particular case. Best of luck with your recovery!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Eryn. I appreciate your concern, however your early results appear completely appropriate and your implants need to settle in and your body adapt to the implants. The overlying skin and muscle needs to relax and allow this process to happen over time. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
