I had a breast augmentation almost three weeks ago now. I had 420cc silicone gel implants put in. I've been to all of my post op visits and have spoken to my surgeon about this but I wanted to see what the consensus was here as I find this to be a good site for information. My left side has settled nicely for three weeks the right is still really high..I've been assured it takes time and I'm very confident in my PS, I'm just looking for reassurance. Many thanks for your responses in advance!

Answer: Uneven Thank you for your question. I believe what you are going through is very normal. Most patients implants do not settle at the same rate. I tell all my patients it takes 4-5 months for implants to fully settle into poistion. Best of luck

Answer: Breasts Dropping at Different Rates Thank you for your question.The two #breasts commonly heal quite differently. One breast may swell more, feel more uncomfortable, or have a different initial #shape. The healing process often takes 2-3 months, but it may take up to a year to see the final result. 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. After complete healing, they will be more similar and natural. You must have patience, but if this causes concern, ask questions of your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.

Answer: 3 weeks post op Hello,In short- yes, this can be absolutely normal. 3 weeks is very early. I advise my patients that it will take between 2-6 months for the breasts to fully settle and soften. They can progress at slightly different rates.All the best

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Implant Position #plasticsurgery #breastaug It is not uncommon for breast implants to settle into place at different rates. 3 weeks is still very early in the healing phase after breast augmentation. Be patient, and with time you will likely have very nice results.

Answer: Is it normal for breasts to "settle" or "drop"at different rates after a breast augmentation? I'm 3 weeks post op. 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.
