Implant settling after capsulectomy and pocket revision

April 4, 2023
Asked By:Jubilant172626 in Saskatchewan, Canada

My original implants never really dropped and fluffed. I had round high implants under the muscle and it stayed at a very high position. so my surgeon did a revision for a capsulectomy as I had some scar tissue and a pocket adjustment to lower the implant. I'm 2 weeks post op and its lower and a bit rounder than before. but still not fully dropped and rounded at the bottom. Does a revision go through the same swollen and drop and fluff process. will it continue to soften and drop/fluff more
