I am now exactly 3 months post surgery and my Lowe poles are quite simply empty. Making the skin sag and nipple very low. Upper poles are full and firm giving a cry unusual shape. I keep reading that my implants will drop and fluff but why is the bottom of my Breasts so empty? Will they drop any more? I went to Brussels for surgery from the UK so have not had a check up and it's not easy to pop back and cover off questions.

Answer: Implant dropping Dear emmajaynedale,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

Answer: Breast Implants Still Need To Settle Emma. I appreciate your concern, but it still too early to panic. Your photos demonstrate a very reasonable postoperative result after three months. It can take as long as 6 to 9 months for the skin and muscle to relax and allow the implants to settle in and “fluff.” Try to stay patient and positive, and I am certain that your result will continue to improve. Check in with your plastic surgeon when possible. Best of luck!
