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?

Dear Maryanned22,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
