Are my implants dropping too quickly? 2 weeks post-op. (Photos)

Thanks for your question!  Everyone's implants heal and drop at different rates.  Your implants look just as they should at this point.  Continue to follow your plastic surgeon's post-op advice, and you should be just fine.  Enjoy!

Congratulations! Your breasts look great and they're in a good location. I don't believe they're dropping too fast, but you should check with your plastic surgeon..

Based on your photographs you seem to be healing great following your breast augmentation surgery.  I encourage you to not lift, push, pull, or strain anything over 5-8 lbs at this point in recovery. I would also adhere to all post-operative instructions given to your by your board certified plastic surgeon. Your breasts will be fully healed one year following surgery but will settle and shape by your 3 month mark. Keep up the good work. 

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Your results look very appropriate for 16 days after surgery, and I see no evidence of bottoming out taking place.  The "dropping and fluffing" phenomenon takes place at varying times for patients as their tissue swelling resolves, so do not let this worry you.  Best wishes.

Based on the photos, it appears your implants are in good position.  Having said that, I recommend all my patients do no heavy-lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks post surgery.  Weight is limited to 10 lbs.  If you have someone that could help you during this recovery period, that would be best.  Also, always remember to follow-up with your plastic surgeon and go over his/her post operative instructions.

Thank you for your question. Activity restrictions after breast augmentation are related to the healing and maturation of the pocket around the implant. For the first 2 weeks, my patients are instructed to restrict lifting to less than 20 pounds. After that point, patients are instructed to wear an underwire bra for improved breast and implant support. I believe in implant massage to help reduce capsular contracture and my patients generally start this around week 2. By 8 weeks I allow return to regular activity for the most part. The majority of patients feel so good by postop day 3 or 4 they struggle to remain compliant with restrictions. Keep in mind breasts may not heal at the same rate, causing one breast to appear different than the other. It can take upwards of 12 weeks for the implants to settle and you to see the final result. Follow up with your board certified surgeon to address your concern. Good luck!

Your breasts look just right 16 days after breast implants.  I recommend avoiding heavy activities for three weeks after breast implant surgery.
Best of luck to you,
Dr. Nancy de Kleer
