Is this pressure when getting up suddenly after lying down a normal part of healing?

Question

I am 6 weeks post breast augmentation. I'm experiencing short moment of pressure when I get up from bed too fast. The longer I lie on the bed the pressure seems to be stronger. My right breast especially. It feels like my implants are dropping down. I have to get up slowly from the side to reduce the dropping pressure or hold on to my right breast. After few seconds it went back to normal. I had 300cc natrelle style 120 under muscles. This pressure only happened 1 to 2 weeks back. May I know if this is part of the healing processing?

Hello,Thank you for your question.  What you are experiencing is absolutely normal.  Your body is adjusting to the implants and what you are feeling will subside as healing continues.  To help in the meantime, i suggest laying propped up some so that you aren't going from a completely flat position to standing up. Best,BH

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on your surgery!

What you have described seems to be quite common. It will take some time for your body to get used to and adjust to your new implants.
It is important to have an in-person medical assessment regarding this issue as it is difficult to determine virtually. Continue to update your doctor in the matter and follow their post-op protocol. 
It is important to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results. 
It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results.Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. 
Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).
