4 weeks ago I had smooth saline implants (325 cc.) placed under the muscle. I was told at my 1st week appt. that one implant had "dropped" but not the other one. The breast with the implant that "dropped" (left) looks bigger/fuller than the other, and the nipple is at a lower position. I understand I may have to wait months to see the implant "drop", but would the (right) breast look bigger/fuller like the other one once the implant drops? I am worried because I do not think that's the case.
Answer: Breast implant results can be seen after 3-4 months.

Answer: Breast and symmetric healing after augmentation Thank you for your question and for sharing your photos. During the post-operative period the breast are swollen, and the breast implants appear in a much higher position. Over time they descend and fills out the lower half of the breast. In addition, it is not uncommon for one breast to be more swollen than the other and may even out with time (unless they were asymmetric in size to begin with). It may take several months for this to happen and can be encouraged with breast massage and compression. It may appear that the breast enlarges as the lower aspect of the breast fills out (at the expense of the upper portion of the breast).

Answer: Wait It is hard to say exactly how your breast will look once it drops, but it will take on a more natural contour, with a fullness in the lower portion.
