One month post op and my implants are still very high, is this normal?

I appreciate your question.





Right now, you are  early on in the post op recovery period. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. This time allows for you to physically and psychologically adapt to your new body image. There are many variables that contribute to a breast augmentation's final result. Preop size and shape, IMF location, location of the implants and type of implant. Patients heal at different rates and each breast will sometimes heal at a different rate. Rest, relax, recover and heal. Please Express your concerns to your surgeon so he/she can examine you at this time. Then reassess final result at 6 months.





The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.





Best of luck!

Hello,Depending on your pre op size, your tissue, size of implants, etc. the implants can sit high for a few months before settling down and softening into a more natural breast shape. when implants drop, this helps to make the nipples appear higher on the breast mound. I recommend that you let your Plastic Surgeon know about any ongoing concerns. All the best
