Breast augmentation "drop and fluff", does it hurt?

Thank you for the question. In my opinion, the "drop and fluff” phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants “settle”, many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger.  Generally, this process does not hurt although some patients report the sensation of stretching and/or aching as the breast implants settle into their "pockets".   I hope this helps.

Thank you for asking. This process does not typically hurt. The tissues are both stretching and relaxing. The length of time depends on the type of technique and the size of implant. Best wishes!

Hello! Thank you for your question!  This process is expected post-augmentation 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 to months as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Usually, final results will be seen a few months postop. 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. It is not uncommon for one breast to settle more quickly than the other due to swelling, dissection, or muscle tightness. If still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down or implant exchange/revision.  While typically not painful, it is not uncommon for patients to describe some discomfort as this occurs.  Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
