Hello doctors, I would like to ask a general question about implants not dropping and when revision would be required based on this factor alone. (Ignoring CC as a factor) For UTM breast implants that have not dropped and, by what time and circumstances do you consider it necessary for a revision? For example, if a patient’s implants have remained fixed in their original position for 6/12/18 weeks despite use of a band and or massage would you consider a revision?

Answer: Ans: When to consider revision for breast implants that have not dropped If implants haven’t dropped by 3–6 months, despite using a band or massage, and they still appear abnormally high or asymmetric, a revision may be considered. UTM implants can take longer to settle, so early revision (before 12 weeks) is usually avoided unless there are clear aesthetic issues. After 6 months with no improvement, surgery to adjust the pocket or fold may be appropriate.
