I have asked my surgeon about the drop and fluff phenomenon, but everyone I asked had not heard about it. However when I first went to consultation they were all talking about this phenomenon of the implant getting bigger "fluffing" after they drop. Is this really a thing that happens??

Answer: Postop Yes the implants will drop and the implants soften over the coming months. You are early postop and it will take some time to settle. Keep in touch with your PS.

Answer: Implants Settling Hi Pollypolly123,The drop and fluff phenomenon is common however the act of the implant getting bigger is not correct.What is actually happening is your implant is settling into its place within the pocket created in your breast tissue and your swelling is reducing which may make it seem like your implant is getting bigger. If you have any concerns about the appearance of your breast implants post-op then please contact your plastic surgeon.
