Do implants still need to "drop" into a more natural position after an implant exchange?

Implants will "drop" after surgery as the tissues stretch and relax. This process typically takes 6 months to complete. When exchanging implants, the same process will occur, but the time may shorten depending on the amount of added size. As you are going up less that 200cc, this process may be shorter for you.

With going up in size, there may be not much dropping until your tissue no longer supports such heavy implants. Typically at 6 months, your implants are where they will be.

Dear lauraleep,
dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.
