Hello I had 600cc silicone high profile put in 6 weeks ago, they are soft at this point but still high and not dropping. Left one was lower then the right one from the beginning but looks like it's dropping a little but, my right one is still high n not filled on the buttom. Left breast is by ratio. I am doing massage and strap at night. I was a small B to begin with, I'm 22 and never had a surgery before. I know it's early to worry but just need an opinion on how it looks. Thanks
Answer: Breast implant settling over time Hi, Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. You should speak to your plastic surgeon. Online consultants are not the appropriate source of information for you; your plastic surgeon should be your resource when it comes to postoperative concerns. This is important because every surgeon has different perspectives, the only one that should be important is the one that operated on you ;)Having said that, it is common to have different women's implants settle at different rates over different periods of time. They will remain high for at least a few weeks. If your pre-existing anatomy has your breast creases or breast folds at different positions, they implants will settle to different places. So your preoperative anatomy has a lot to do with a final result. So does the skill of your plastic surgeon, size of breast implants, saline and silicone settle differently, skin quality and activity levels. You are still early so give it some more time. It may take 2-4 months to really see where you are. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant Dropping at 6 weeks Thank you for your question, your result looks very appropriate for 6 weeks. The larger implants take longer to drop. I would continue with massage, support bras, and return to your daily activities. Stay in close contact with your surgeon and you should see nice settling by 6 months. All the best.Dr. Gill
