Implants are not dropping almost 4 weeks post op

Hello,I let my patients know that it will usually take between 2-6 months for implants to drop and fluff. When breast tissue is tight and implants are larger- it can take even longer. You are still early in your recovery process, though it can be hard to be patient.All the best

Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage 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 as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. 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. If still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Hello, implants can often drop for months after surgery.  It is not possible to predict your outcome based on a description alone, but I would recommend ongoing assessments by your PS to ensure you achieve the desired result.

Thank you for your question.Don't panic. Every patients recovery is different. It can take 3 - 6 months for your breasts to heal, settle and drop into position.Follow your surgeons instructions and contact him or her with any concerns. Best of luck.

I appreciate your question.

Right now, you are very early on in the
post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable
having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you
to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many
variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size
and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients
heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different
rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so
he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months.

The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz

Thank you for your question.The final #shape of your #breasts will start to look its best
approximately three months after #augmentation surgery. It takes time for the skin and
muscle to stretch and relax around the new #implant. The breast will often look
higher, firmer, and “less natural” in the first three months. It can take
up to a year to see your final result. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, advice, predictions, and/or meaningful reassurance. Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery and massaging the implants downward may assist in the dropping of the implants after surgery (for those patients who want to help with the settling of the implants). The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, size of breast implant utilized, and concerns such as pre-existing breast asymmetry.Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result. It is very common for one side to settle faster than the other. In your case there is still time. Again, best to follow your plastic surgeon for more specifics. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
