5 days post op, one breast implant is dropping faster than the other, is this normal?

Asked By:fba14 in Saint Ives, AU

I had a breast augmentation last Wednesday (I am 5 days post op). I understand that I will have to wait for the dropping and fluffing process to complete before I get a real picture, but I have noticed that one breast is dropping faster than the other. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to make the higher one drop faster? I was a 12b prior to surgery and had 415cc full profile implants under the muscle.
