Dear hannahh8,
dropping of implants is part of the healing process and this occurs after the tissues surrounding the implants slowly relax, allowing the implants to settle into their final position. It can take about four to six months for the implant to drop down to their final position.I understand that you are worried about your implants are not dropping as expected. However, you are still in the early phase of the recovery period. Please do allow some time for the healing process to occur. If after six months, you are not satisfied with the appearance of your breast, you can visit your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.

When you pick the winning combination of oversized, high profile implants over the muscle you're going to get balls for boobs. Go to a revision breast expert to place smaller mod profile implants in the subpectoral position.

Unfortunately, you have not provided before photographs. However, you probably had very little breast tissue to begin with. Implants in front of the muscle look like implants because there is no muscle concealing it. You may be better off with the implants retro-pectoral. If you want a more lifted appearance, you can consider a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, the breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, the implants can be replaced for smaller ones.

Your implants would look more natural and have more support and coverage if placed behind the muscle. Behind the muscle is more painful, takes longer for the implants to settle, and can have some animation deformity when you flex your muscles. In front, However, in most women, they look and hold up the best behind the muscle. You have more the round fake ball look. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
