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?
Answer: Why do implants ride high in some women and not in others? 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!

Answer: Why do implants ride high in some women and not in others? 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.

Answer: High riding breast implants three weeks after breast augmentation. 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.

Answer: Why do implants ride high in some women and not in others? Thank you for the question; congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. As you know, is much too early to evaluate the outcome of the procedure performed. It is most likely that you will find that you will not have “forever high breasts”. Generally speaking, when breast augmentation is performed a “pocket” is created. Depending on the size and position of the breast implant pockets dissected, as well as the size of the breast implant used,and the patient's anatomy, it may take some time for the breast implants to “settle” into the dissected pocket. This process may be referred to as “dropping and fluffing”. It may require 3 to 6 months to occur. at this point, although easier said than done, I would suggest ongoing patience; you will find that time and patience will be your "best friends" over the next several weeks/months. Best wishes.
