Why are some implants still high years later in cases without mesh/internal bra?

April 2, 2023

hey doctors! so i know that any implant placed behind the muscle will settle and get pushed down over time, leading to a lower placement of the implant (typically way below armpit level) over time. ive also been told that using a mesh/ internal bra prevents the muscle from pushing the implant down too much. however, i have seen cases where even without the mesh/ internal bra, the implants are still high (above armpit level) after years. why do you think that's the case for some people?
