Can anyone give me an estimate on how long it generally takes for breast to "drop and fluff"? It's been 4 weeks and my left breast is still significantly higher than my right. I got 445 cc in my left breast and 405 cc in my right. I'm starting to worry about my left breast not dropping. Any pointers ? Suggestions? Words of encouragement ?
Answer: How Long Until My Breast Implants Drop? #breastimplants #breastaugmentation Things are looking just fine for only being 4 weeks out from your breast augmentation.It may take 3 months (or more) for your implants to fully stretch out your lower pole breast skin and settle into place.With time, gravity and the weight of your implants will change the way your breasts look. I imagine you'll be very pleased with your new look. Thanks for sharing!

CONTACT NOW Answer: You may have to wait another 5 months. Although you appear to be healing well, your final results are still months away. It can take up to 6 months for breast implants to completely soften and drop into the pocket prepared by your plastic surgeon. Breasts can heal at different rates after breast augmentation and your right breast could be settling quicker than the left one. Keep an eye on your results for the next couple months or see if your plastic surgeon recommends using a band to help the left breast drop or massaging to help implants soften.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Swelling? Thank you for your question. You are still early in the post-operative period. It typically takes 3 - 6 months for the swelling to subside and and implants to settle into proper position. Please discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

Answer: How long does it take for breast implants to settle? Thank you for your question. While the implant settling process can take up to 3-4 months to be complete, I do always inform patients that implants can settle at slightly different rates as each individuals body has to stretch to accommodate this new implant and additional volume. The size of a patients implants, the pre-operative breast size, pre-operative breast shape, type of implant used, skin elasticity, muscle tone, surgical technique, etc... are all factors that influence the amount of time that this 'drop and fluff' process can take. Considering you are only 4 weeks post-op, I would not be concerned with the current appearance of your breasts. It is not uncommon for one side to settle out a little faster than the other, and since you are still quite early in your recovery I would not anticipate there being any issues down the line. With that said, I would recommend that you follow up in person with your operating surgeon to discuss your concerns and progress thus far. I hope you find this helpful and I wish you a speedy recovery!
