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

Asked By:DuggyD in Killeen, TX

I'm 19 days post op and my implants - which are not big - are still sitting near my collarbone. I get that it's early -- what I want to know is why this happens to some women and not to others? Were mine put in too high? I lift heavy weight -- are my chest muscles super tight and holding them there? Is the pocket too small? And at what point would I need a revision if they don't drop?
