One implant dropped, the other hasn't yet. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your question!
It may take up to 6 months for both implants to drop and settle. Continue to follow all instructions and reach out to your surgeon with any questions or concerns. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. It's normal for breast implants to settle at various rates. The period when implants settle into their final position and the surrounding tissue relaxes is called "drop and fluff." This may need a few weeks, months, or a year. After five months, if one implant has settled but the other has not, this might indicate a problem such as capsular contracture or the need for revision surgery. It is important to consult with your surgeon again to address any issues and decide on the best course of action.

Dear Vivid565819,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.
