My surgery for breast augmentation was in April 2014 (2 years ago - smooth, round implants) and I am very happy with the results however; I would like my breasts to drop a bit more. I do feel that they are a little high and they look odd from the side. Is there ANYTHING I can do to make them drop a little lower although it's been 2 years? Thanks!!
Answer: Your results should be set by now. Breast implants slowly soften and settle first for at least the first 6 months after a breast augmentation procedure. You may even notice changes in your breasts for up to a full year. Your breast implants shouldn’t drop any more after 2 years though. Massaging or a pectoral bandeau likely won’t affect the position of your breasts but shouldn’t hurt your implants if you want to try. If you’re concerned about the placement of your breast implants, you may want to see a plastic surgeon about revision surgery.

Answer: Breast Appearance Breast Appearance – The final appearance, shape, and movement are not exactly the same as normal breasts. The surgically enlarged breasts do not move in the same way as normal breasts. They tend to be firmer. The contours are usually somewhat different than normal breasts. In some patients these discrepancies may be rather noticeable. Although every effort is made to place the implants symmetrically, complete symmetry is rarely achieved. Immediately after surgery, the breasts are swollen and firmer. The final shape and size is approximated after 2 to 3 months, but up to one year may be required for the end result.

Answer: Breast Hello, after 2 years it is unlikely that you will have a significant "drop". Depending on your anatomy and current implant position, you may need further surgery to improve the overall appearance. I would seek out a surgeon who can examine you and discuss your options. Good Luck.

Answer: As you heal from implant surgery the scar tissue around the implant becomes more firm and established. At 2 years post-op, I am not aware of anything that would allow you to manipulate them to get them to drop further. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and find out what your options are.
