I am 9 days post op and at my last appointment my ps told me to use a shoelace to help the breast from dropping anymore. Does this really work? What causes this to happen? Is there anything else I can do to help the situation? I am so disappointed I feel like I spent all this money for nothing. Just a side note my recovery went well by day 2 I was off meds and up walking around could this have been a reason doing too much? Please help!!

Answer: Breast too low after augmentation
I assume that one of the breast implants is lower than the other. It is possible to get the inframammary fold to stabilize and even to move a bit higher with this technique, if it’s started early after surgery. Make sure your surgeon thoroughly explains to you how to do this properly.

Answer: Concerns about Bottoming Out after Breast Augmentation…
I'm sorry to hear about the anxiety you are experiencing after breast augmentation surgery. The "technique” you describe is not one that I am familiar with or use in my practice. You will be best off asking your plastic surgeon directly if he has had success with this treatment modality.
I do not think that you have yourself or your activity level to “blame” for any breast implant displacement that is occurring.
Sorry, cannot be more helpful without viewing pictures or direct consultation.
