I had smooth implants SRM 375cc, under the muscle, inframammary incision. Implants placed too high? (photo)

nope, not too high they will drop down at least an inch over the next month and you will love them!

You are only 5 days out from surgery.  They simply need time to drop.  The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Your breasts will change so much in the next three months it is really too soon to tell if they are mal-positioned.  If you go to my website and look at the early before and after photos you will have some idea about implant progression over the first three to six months. 

Hello,Implants are in perfect position in the vertical vector, but you were just not a candidate for such large implants in the first place. Your nipple to fold distance under stretch prior to surgery would have guided your surgeon in determining your anatomic capacity, which was clearly exceeded. Time will improve things, but your nipples will always be relatively low on the mound. Best of luck!

Your results look very typical at this point and your breast shape, as well as implant position will definitely change over time. Follow your doctor's post-op protocol and I'm sure you will be fine and love the outcome in 2-3 months. 

Normal to be nervous right after surgery but the answer is yes, we have all seen implants start really high and then settle into place. I'm a believer in massage and usually it's 3-4 weeks before they even start to move so don't get discouraged! It takes weeks to months. And of course you should trust your doctor and I'm sure you do but we all understand that this is a forum for not only advice, but reassurance too!!! Hang in there. You should be just fine!

You just trusted a surgeon to enter your interior, change your anatomy, introduce long lasting synthetic, and preserve your natural functions (sensation, lactation) without scar deformity.  My recommendation is to trust that same surgeon's answer to your questions about the procedure and expected outcome.

Dear arreob,Dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

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 reaching out and sharing photos and congrats on your recent procedure! Its too early to predict anything, but they do not seem too high. Be sure to follow the post op instructions from your surgeon and you should get a great result. Best of luck! Dr. Kim
