I had my breast augmentation surgery may 29 and my left breast has dropped and fluffed, but the right is still high. Will it continue to drop or does it look too high at this point?

Answer: Implant dropping Dear Honest842641, I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the early stages of the healing process.You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Answer: Implant asymmetry At four months this degree of asymmetry will not likely resolve. My cutoff is 6 months, at that point surgery is indicated to fix.

Answer: Breast implant is high Thanks for your inquiry and excellent pictures. Make sure you are communicating with your surgeon about strategies including massage, wearing a bandeau, and stretching protocols and preventing capsular contracture. At the six month post-op point, any meaningful dropping of implant is low and possibly surgery to adjust the pocket may be required--best of luck.
