I was naturally a full d did a breast lift wit 450 cc HP implants. I'm hoping in the first week they are very swollen Does the swelling and then dropping make a huge difference in size ?
Answer: Implant dropping Dear Carrol m,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.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Worried Implants Too Big After Augment Yes, the swelling and dropping can make a difference in size. Immediately after your surgery, and for months following, you have swelling which can make the breasts look much larger than they will end up. It can take up to 6 months before you see final results and with a lift you may experience more swelling than with augmentation alone. Congratulations on your implants and lift!

Answer: Breast Implant Recovery Your questions and concerns are common after breast implant surgery. There is quite a bit of swelling immediately after surgery, and over time, the swelling will decrease and the implants will "drop" into the pocket. Patients usually tell me that after about 6 weeks, they quit thinking about their implants all the time, and after 3-4 months, you can start shopping for new bras. That being said, the implant size you mentioned is not small, and if you were already wearing a D cup bra before surgery, you will be noticeably larger with your implants. I wish you luck in your recovery.

Answer: I'm worried my implants are way too big, will they become smaller once the swelling goes down? Congratulations on your breast lift with implants. Her breasts will change dramatically as the implants drop into place. Right now the implants are essentially showed up almost underneath your chin. Please be assured that the implants will drop and look much more natural although this process can take three months.

Answer: Implant size Thanks for your question. I believe that I answered this yesterday, but will try again. You do have a large implant, but it appears even larger right now b/c of swelling and the fact that they haven't had time to drop. At 6 weeks you'll have a better idea. Best of Luck!
