My boobs still seem like they are sitting more full in the upper pole rather than the lower pole.Particularly right hand side my nipple is facing down. I had low nipples to begin with however I was told the vectra images side on would basically be what I end up with. At the 5 month mark now,been wearing strap for 1 month, told to wear for another 2 .Is it likely my boobs will fill out in the lower pole & decrease in fullness in the upper pole resulting in better nipple position?

Answer: Will my implants fill out/drop more into my lower pole? (photos) Thank you for your question.I would not suspect that the appearance of the breast will change much over the next couple months. You stated in your comments that the nipple position was low prior to surgery and they are remaining low. From the appearance of the photos you provided, the nipple/areola and maximal projection of the breast is not centered over the maximal projection of the breast implant. To correct this discrepancy, you would need to have a breast lift to re-position the breast tissue and nipple/areola to be directly over the maximal projection of the breast implant.With that said, this determination could not be accurately made without a physical examination to evaluate each of the breast and implant characteristics that I described above. I would recommend you discuss this with you plastic surgeon. He or she would be your best resource.I hope this helps. Best wishes!William J.

Answer: Implants high after 5 months This is a great question. Breast implants can continue to settle for at least 6 months, and sometimes they settle for up to 9-12 months. If I were you, I would give them some more time to settle and continue to see your plastic surgeon. If necessary, a relatively minor procedure (capsulotomy) can be performed to help them settle and make them move even, and this is a much simpler procedure than a breast augmentation with much quicker recovery for you.It's very important for you to keep your appointments with your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns with him/her.I hope this helps and wish you all the best!Dr Knoetgen
