I am 9 days out from surgery. My left nipple is extremely sensitive and painful. This is the breast with the larger implant 421 cc that I am currently doing displacement excercises with. In this photo you can tell how much higher it is than the right (371cc). Will it fully drop to match the right? I was told to wear a strap for a month to push them down. I am extremely worried about this. Also, what would help lessen the nipple pain?
Answer: Implants settling at different rates? Thank you for your question and photos. Implants can absolutely settle at slightly different rates. As much as we try, it is impossible to have the exact same pocket and tissue manipulation. This can account for some differences in the implants settling. Nipple sensitivity is a reflection of nerve recovery and can persist for a couple of weeks. All in all, you have a favorable result. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast implant drop occurs at different rates Thank you for your picture and question.It is very common for implants to drop at different rates. I would say that is the norm. Your results look great and looks like the sizes are good picks. Hang in there. Take it easy if you feel pain, usually an indicator to slow it down a bit.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Implants dropping at extremely different rates and extreme nipple pain? Is this normal? You have two separate issues-hypersensitivity and implant postition. Your hypersensitivity will resolve with time. In addition to NSAID medication, you could put silicone nipple shields on to diminish the sensitivity. Your breast will likely take 3 to 6 months to reach their final shape. Continue to follow your surgeons recommendations to get the best possible result.

Answer: Special Exercises Not Recommended I do not recommend exercises as these promote displacement of round implants over time. Without complete detail, I am guessing that you have smooth round implants. In my practice, great care and attention is focused on placing the implants properly from the get-go - the position they need to be in. This facilitates recovery. Stillwater patients are generally back to work and exercise within 48 hours. Also, no special garments or displacement exercises needed....ever.
