Hi, I’m 5 weeks post op with 300cc smooth. I requested the far apart look with side boob with my nipples placed high if possible. Somehow it seems I’ve gotten the opposite of what I wanted. They are much too close/high, with an ugly snoopy profile. I know it’s “early days” but I’ve read many articles online that say that around 6 weeks things should be getting close to final shape. I’m wondering will they still change/drop a lot? Or, is this near to what I should expect. Thanks, C.

Answer: Implant dropping Dear Car33, 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.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: 5 Week Post Op Thank you for your photos. I tell my patients that they should give their breasts at least 3-4 months before judging the final result. This is because the breast implant will take about 4 months to start settling into the pocket. I perform a rapid recovery breast augmentation in all my primary augmentations. My goal in this procedure is to cause as as little damage to the muscle or ribs as possible. Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation is made possible by my use of a meticulous technique that causes as little bleeding as possible. I believe that blood oozing during the procedure near the ribs is what causes discomfort after a breast augmentation surgery. I make sure to cauterize or seal all the bleeding vessels around the muscle and ribs during the procedure. Finally, I only open up my breast pocket the exact diameter of the implant which allows for a better positioning of the implant. Hope this helps!
