I’m 1 week post-op from a breast lift and augmentation (and tummy tuck). I know I’m still very early in the game. In your experience, do you find patients who receive a lift (along with their augmentation) have their implants drop later than those patients who are just receiving an augmentation? My left breast seems to be lowering but my right breast (dominant side) seems to want to stay perched high! On average, when do implants drop and fluff? For reference: 425cc mentor silicone unders
Answer: Breast implants need time to drop and fluff At 1 week you are about 5 percent settled, healed, softened, shaped, dropped and fluffed. "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut.

Answer: Implants It will take your implants up to 6 months to completely settle, even with the lift. This is especially if the implants are placed behind the muscle.

Answer: Do patients who get implants with a lift drop later than patients with just implants? What is an average timeline?

Massage can help, but larger implants may take 3 to 6 months to drop and fluff to their final levels. Best to follow up with your PS regarding your concerns.

Answer: Do patients who get implants with a lift drop later than patients with just implants? What is an average timeline? Thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you seem to have a very nice early outcome after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, advice, predictions, and/or meaningful reassurance.
