Do muscle relaxers help accelerate dropping of implants post op? (photos)

May 27, 2015
Asked By:Bikinibody in Loma Linda, CA

I am 3 weeks post op. One of my implants is dropping slower than the other, which I know is normal. I also know that it could take several months for them to "drop". However, I recently read that in addition to displacement exercises, and bands, some PS have kept their patients on muscle relaxers to aide in the dissension of the implant. Does it really help? I've stopped taking mine about two weeks ago because I didn't need them anymore, so I thought.
