Right after a breast augmentation, most women are eager to check out their new look. However, your new implants will need some time to settle into place, so don’t be alarmed if your breast implants look a little higher on your chest than you expected — this is completely normal.
Read through these facts about breast implants that “ride high” to help calm your concerns post-breast enhancement.
It Can Take 4-6 Months for Breast Implants to Settle
Although you’re anxious to see your final results, know that it can take 4-6 months for breast implants to “drop and fluff,” or soften and settle into the lowest, most natural-looking position. Your results will be fantastic weeks after surgery, but final results take time. Be patient as your breast augmentation results continue to develop.
One Breast Implant May Drop Before the Other
It is also completely normal if one breast implant gets a head start at the dropping and fluffing process than the other. Don’t worry, though — if this happens, the other side shouldn’t be too far behind. They are sisters, not twins!
Breast Massage Isn’t for Everyone
Gently massaging your breasts after breast augmentation can help your implants to settle into place more quickly. However, only do so if your plastic surgeon has instructed you to. Women who have had a breast lift at the same time as their augmentation or those with textured implants should avoid breast massage.
