I underwent a augmentation surgery two weeks ago and while I am in love with the left the right is still sitting very high and has not dropped into nearly as nice of a place as the left. I have read that your breasts can drop at different rates but I am strating to freak out! I am taking muscle relaxors, doing daily massage and taking milk thistle. Anyone have experience with this and can share a story that will ease my mind? I know it is early but I wonder why one would drop so much sooner

Answer: Asymmetric Drop is Common
If you are only two weeks out from breast augmentation surgery, I would not worry yet. Each implant can drop at its own rate. One side is usually slower to drop due to extra use, extra swelling, or due to extra tightness in the muscle. Do your best to reduce swelling with ice, anti-inflammatories (approved by your doc), and rest. The majority of the time, it takes care of itself. Good Luck! Tripti Burt, MD

Answer: Breast implants do not really drop.
Hi.
1) This is what you do not want to hear, unfortunately. In my opinion, the need for implants to "drop" is largely a myth. Your breasts should look great right after surgery. If one is higher at two weeks, this will probably not go away.
2) You should not do anything for six months, so you might as well be optimistic. There are always exceptions. But eventually, you may well need a revision.
