When I’m standing up and laying on my back, I can feel a weight and what feels like my implant filling the pocket. My breast feel soft and im experiencing the drop/fluff. But at night when I lay on my side, I’ve noticed at the bottom of my breast near the crease feels empty. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

Answer: Bottom of the breasts feels empty after augmentation You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Eight weeks after surgery the swelling has mostly resolved and the implants have settled. What you are experiencing is due to the implant moving in the pocket when you lay down, leaving the bottom of the pocket less full. This is normal, and indicates that you have no capsule contracture , or hardening.

Answer: 8 weeks post op, empty feeling near bottom of breast when sleeping on my side. Is this normal? Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your positional issues. I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon for an in-person evaluation to get the best reassurance as to the shifting feel of your implant. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breasts need time to drop and fluff What you describe could be normal. When concerned, always a good idea to keep your surgeon in the loop. At 8 weeks you are about 50 percent settled, shaped, softened, 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.
