Will my implants drop? 3.5 weeks 450cc gummy bear Sientra anatomical implants. (photos)

Hi there, Thank you for your message. I do think your implants will probably settle and drop a bit more over your first 6-8 weeks post op, but a great way to help assist them is to use an implant stabilizer band, or even an ace bandage. I would recommend using one!

I would not expect your implants to move. They are placed in a precisely developed pocket and along with being textured, are not expected to shift from their original position.

Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. Shaped implants are textured, and therefore will adhere to the surrounding tissue and settle less than a smooth round implant. However, it's still early after your procedure and they will certainly continue to settle more in the coming months. Make sure to stay in contact with your surgeon and follow their postoperative instructions.

Hello, and thank you for your questions and your photos. Although as was previously stated in several post the implants probably will not move significantly, it is still much too early to determine your final breast size and shape following this procedure. Continue to follow up with her treating physician regarding these issues. Best of luck with your continued recovery.

Because of the shape of gummy bear implants, they are supposed to stick in place so that they don't rotate. This would also prevent them from dropping, at least in theory. There are a number of things to know in order to offer specific advice, such as your pre-op measurements and the specific size and shape of your implants. Your surgeon is in the best position to answer these.

usually remain stable, as they are designed to stay where put or you have problems with rotation down the road. It is emphasized to my patients that the upper poles are level... and yours appear that way.  So talk to your surgeon if any settling is anticipated at this point.  And if not, you will have some decisions to make.  If you like the upper pole location, a lift of some sort will be needed.  If you think you're too full on top, then your implants will have to be lowered in a revision procedure.  

Greetings,At about one month after surgery, your implants appear a bit higher than you would like.  You might need to wait as the tissues continue to stretch and healing occurs.  Some surgeons employ a bra with tight wire crease support and loose cups, along with an ace wrap above to help hasten the improvement of your implant positions.Do see your plastic surgeon for his (her) specific recommendations regarding your post surgical implant care.Best Regards,
