I had my breast augmentation (400cc round smooth silicone implants -under the muscle) completed two weeks ago. I had a lot of lost volume prior to the surgery due to breastfeeding one child. I have a very long torso, with a shorter waist and longer chest, so my breasts sit naturally lower than most women. I am now two weeks post-op, and I don't want my implants to drop any further, but my PS says this is inevitable. Is there anything I can do to slow or stop the dropping process?

Answer: How Can You Keep Implants from Dropping Support is key. You should always wear a #bra for continued support. Also, a breast #lift may be consideration. A Breast #Lift to #tighten loose skin is often recommended to better optimize the end result of an #augmentation or #revision. I prefer to use a #shortscar technique, #LollipopScar or #DonutLift” rather than the majority of surgeons in the United States that use an anchor pattern lift which involve more significant scarring. Another possibility is a biologic fabric (Acellular Dermal Matrix or #ADM) which is sometimes used to attach to the breast tissue internally while supporting the implant.However, it is best to consult with your Plastic Surgeon to better confirm with an in-person exam and continue to wear support.

Answer: Keep implants from dropping I'm wondering if you needed a breast lift or something with more projection to compensate for the sagging. At any rate, to minimize sagging you should wear a bra all the time. That's pretty much the only thing you can do if you don't want revision surgery.

Answer: Wear a good bra all the time Unfortunately, you can't prevent your breasts from dropping to where they want to be. This typically occurs over the course of three to four months. However, if you'd like to slow the rate at which they drop, wear a good supportive bra all the time. This will fight against the natural force of gravity somewhat.
