After breast augmentation, there will always be some degree of tightness and surgical swelling, possibly slightly more with submuscular implant placement (most common location). As this swelling diminishes, and as the skin, breast, and muscular tissues stretch and accommodate the implants, implant position almost always drops to some degree (unless capsular contracture is occurring), and the breasts will become softer and more teardrop in appearance. This, of course, is highly dependent upon the age, breast-feeding history, weight gain-and-loss history, and natural elasticity and collagen content of each woman's breasts, not to mention whether or not the woman's muscles are those of a body-builder or a couch potato. This dropping, softening, and settling of implants and breast tissues apparently has been given the non-medical lay terminology "dropping and fluffing." Until I saw this terminology used on this site, I actually thought "fluffing" was something done by female "assistants" to keep male porn actors "ready" for filming. So you won't catch me using this slang term for my augmentation patients. You really shouldn't either.What happens as tissue soften and stretch (assuming you are not in the unfortunate group of patients who develop capsular contracture), is that the implants will assume a lower position on the chest wall, and will project outward slightly more as the muscular and skin tension covering the implants relaxes a bit. If surgery was precise and hemostasis meticulous, you will have had minimal swelling and bruising, and the stretch and drop can often be perceived as slight enlargement as the projection improves and pressure inward on the implants diminishes. Otherwise, if your swelling, bruising, and bleeding caused much more swelling, this gradually goes down and size and position reach their "final" appearance. This takes 6-12 months, not weeks.Let's all agree to not use the term "fluff," shall we? Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
