8 weeks post-op and right breast isn't dropping. PS said it might drop. Thoughts? (photo)

Whitefish23Jun 10, 2019

Im 8 weeks post breast augmentation, and my right breast isn't dropping. PS said it "might" drop but, he didn't seem very convinced. He told me to wear the breast band day/night for 4 weeks, but that still might not help. Im so upset! Is there still a chance this right breast will drop down and look more like the left or is this what im stuck with??

Congratulations on your procedure! You appear to have a very nice result so far. Breast implants increase breast volume but cleavage and the distance between your breasts is primarily determined by your natural anatomy. I would not anticipate that this will change much throughout your recovery...
