I had an implant march last year. And got pregnant 3 weeks after that. Then I had a miscarriage at 3 months. I wasn't be able to massage my breast at all bc it was swollen. Up until now the implant still really high, it hasn't drop at all. What can I do? My doctor told me keep on massaging it.
Answer: My implant is still high, it hasn't dropped after a year and a half. What can I do? After a year and a half your implant will not drop. You will need revision surgery to improve the position of the implant. This may require a simple capsulotomy or total capsulectomy in case you have developed capsular contracture. You can always submit photos for a more accurate assessment of your situation, or consult with other plastic surgeons in your area. Thank you for sharing your concerns. Best wishes. Dr. Gregory Park, San Diego Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: My breast implant is still high after a year I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation surgery. At this point, it is not likely that your breast implants will change without surgical intervention. Best to be seen in person for evaluation and advice. My best suggestion: seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate lots of experience helping patients with revisionary breast surgery. Communicate your goals/concerns carefully. Working together you will come up with a good plan to improve your outcome. Best wishes.

Answer: Implants still high Hello, if you feel your implants are still sitting high after 18 months I would recommend booking an assessment by your plastic surgeon. Implants generally won't change much after this amount of time.

Answer: Implant riding high I would like to express sorry for your loss. Implants have a tendency to ride high right after surgery especially when placed behind the muscle (subpectorally). In 3-6 months the implant drops as the skin stretches and the breast tissue expands resulting in softer, and more natural looking breasts. Please note that it is common for breasts to heal and adapt to implants at different rates.The driving factors that could allow the 'drop and fluff' include gravity, persistent inward and downward massaging, and use of pole wraps. However, all these factors are mostly helpful during the first months because the surrounding tissues are still adapting to the implants. In your case, the implant may not be dropping because the muscle attachments or the inframammary fold attachments are really strong and they may be preventing the implant from dropping completely. You may require an IMF release in the future to symmetrize the breasts if it does not get better for time.Above all, the instructions of your surgeon take precedence over everything else you read on here. You can try continuing with massaging as directed by your surgeon to see if it works. If it doesn't, then share your concerns with your surgeon and they should be able to correct it. Hope this helps.
