Why do implants ride high in some women and not in others? (photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage and 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. If 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!

Breast size, skin tightness, implant size, muscle size and muscle tightness all play a role in the severity and duration of high riding implants.

Younger women with no previous pregnancies tend to support the volume of the implant artificially after breast augmentation. This makes the implants look high in may take a number of weeks to resolve. With the passage of time however you should see improvement.

Hi Duggy. One more reason for implants looking high and very frecuent is when they are placed under the muscle. With the muscle contraction because of the implant and all the swelling they look very high, but when contrature and swelling go away they look much better. Regards.

The larger the implant, the more likely is the chance for the implant to show high close to the collarbone. With time the implants will drop lower. Make sure you massage your breasts.
