Hi so I hear people say diffrent things all the time about this but if you are very flat chested and put implants behind the muscle, do they get bigger when they settle? Because at first when flat people do the surgery I think they look pretty square/pointy and smaller but when they releases they look bigger?
Answer: Breasts The volume does not change, but once the implants settle down, the lower part of the breast appears fuller and the implants are in a better position.

Answer: Implant settling I think implant settling is something that was more common in the past but today we release more of the pec major muscle as it attaches to the lower chest wall and that allows the implant to be in the correct position from the very beginning. It is really only when very large implants are placed that they need time to "settle" as they need to stretch some of the tissue and skin in the lower pole to get into a better position. For implants that are correctly sized to the breast there really is not a lot of settling that happens anymore. Of course there are always some minor changes as breasts heal but not to the degree we used to see ten years ago.

Answer: Drop and fluff There is a period immediately after surgery where the implants may be compressed and look squarish and flattened out. As tissue expansion occurs over 3-4 months, the implants “drop and fluff” to achieve a more natural breast shape.

Answer: Breast Augmentation This varies on the patient’s anatomy. What we do know is that the muscle relaxes with time as a result of the implant stretching it. Depending on the muscle thickness, glandular tissue, and skin elasticity, it is difficult to predict exactly how it will evolve with time.
