Is it possible that my implants are dropping too soon? 2 weeks post. I'm thin, not muscular & 122 lbs (before implants) (Photo)

Question

At 2 weeks post I noticed that my implants had begun to drop. Incisions almost can't be seen looking in mirror front on. Everything I read said it takes several weeks to months. The pics are from 13 days & 17 days post. The lines are from my bra. My left breast has less saline because it was my larger breast to start but despite that my left is still slightly bigger overall & is dropping faster than the other. I still love my result, I'm just a worrier.

Helle, based on the photo it appears that the implants are symmetrical and in a proper position.  This is not a substitute for a proper examination but no problem can be seen from the picture in my opinion.

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. It appears as if you have fairly large implants so gravity will be at work. You may have begun the drop process and the majority of swelling will have gone down, but you aren't finished yet. It is also common to have each breast settle in at a slightly different rate. Your results look great so far. Follow up with your Plastic Surgeon for post op support recommendations.All the best!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Your implants look nice at two weeks.   They will change over time but some drop sooner than others. Best of luck.

Jacob Freiman, MD, FACS · Answer

It appears your implants are in the correct position. Are they sub glandular or sub pectoral? Either way, it is very early in the healing process. It takes at least 3 months to see the final result and some plastic surgeons say up to one year.

Robert B. Louton, MD · Answer

The results look good.  The skin and tissue overlying the implants will soften over time and the results will look better still. 100% of the females on planet Earth have some degree of asymmetry.  Augmentation has only a very limited capacity to correct this.  Your results appear quite symmetrical. Any concerns you have should be posed to your PS.  But I think over time tissue remodeling will continue to improve your results.  This takes about six months. I hope this helps.
