Can an Implant Still "Drop" After 6 Months? (photo)

Hello! Thank you for your question! typical at the early stage, it will continue to improve as the swelling subsides and the implants continue to settle into their desired position. This usually proceeds over the next several weeks as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Follow-up closely with your surgeon for additional restrictions/instructions and the potential use of bras/garments or massage that may encourage the implant to settle appropriately. Since still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Thank you for the photos.  It is a bit hard to comment on the asymmetry as we don't have one pre op.  There may have been some asymmetries that we are seeing more clearly now with the implants.  You are early in your post operative course.  Implants typically start to move downward at one month.  It may take 12 months for them finally to get into position.    This should also get better with time.  Please let your board certified plastic surgeon know your thoughts.  Please follow the recommendations that they might give you.
           

Thank you for the question and picture.

Although the majority of breast implant “settling” has already occurred, I have seen breast implants continue to change in position for the first year or so after surgery. Massage might help (can't hurt). 

I would suggest continued follow-up with your plastic surgeon who is in the best position to rule out complications such as encapsulation (which may lead to an implant feeling more firm and/or not settling symmetrically).

Best wishes.
