I had a breast augmentation a week ago today, before my BA I was a deflated and stretched/sagging barely A cup after breastfeeding two kids. Doctor said that he didn't think a lift would be necessary but as of a week out the breast that was slightly larger and sagging more has loose skin sagging off bottom of implant. Do you think once the "drop and fluff" happens that it will correct itself? I got 520cc high profile silicone under the muscle.
Answer: Breast Implant Position It appears that your implants are sitting very high at this time. However, it is important to remember that you are still early in your healing process. Your final result will not become apparent for several months, as the implants can continue to drop and settle for several weeks to several months after the procedure. Once your implants drop to their final position, your nipple position will improve. If recommended by your doctor, there are a few ways to help your high implant position, such as massage and the use of a surgical bandeau. In the meantime, I recommend that you follow up with your surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Will "drop and fluff" correct sagging off bottom of implant? (photo) Thank you for your question and photograph. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. At a week out from surgery, your implants are being held tightly against your rib cage creating an elevated and flat look. As the swelling in your tissues resolves, and your muscle relaxes, you should see a gradual improvement in your breast appearance to leave with a more natural look. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: Implants falling Thanks for your inquiry, your implants will fall and as they drop and fluff, they will recruit the lower pole skin. I do not want to comment on the expectation you discussed with your surgeon because I was not there, but there is a lot of changes to come, good luck.

Answer: Will drop and fluff correct sagging Without an examination or photos, it is difficult to answer your question. At one week after surgery, there is still a great deal of swelling present and the implants have not settled. I generally recommend not making any conclusions regarding results until this process is completed, which takes several months. In my practice, there are frequently patients who are borderline in requiring a mastopexy, but wish to avoid it. Most of the time, they will achieve a good result with augmentation alone, however occasionally a lift may eventually required. The results in that case are as good or better than if done initially.

Answer: Drop and fluff Hello, if your breast augmentation was only a week ago, the breasts will likely change for months to come. If the breasts were sagging prior to surgery it will typically take time for the implants to drop and make the lower breasts look fuller. Your surgeon can follow this along with you.
