It has been 2 months since my breast augmentation surgery, and despite performing massages and using the band provided by my doctor, my breasts have not dropped as expected. My doctor has not encountered a situation like this before and has prescribed milk thistle. Could anyone offer any help or guidance? Thank you.
It is quite common for implants to appear high even after 2 months of surgery. I do not have experience with milk thistle, but continuing massage and wearing a chest band can help. Please continue to follow up with your surgeon.
While your incisions have likely healed by now, it is important to note that you are still in the early stages of recovery. It can take up to 6 months for your body to fully adjust to your breast implants, during which they should soften and settle. Continuing to massage your breast implants and using the band provided by your plastic surgeon is recommended. If you have any concerns, it is best to consult with your surgeon, and keep in mind that final results may take up to 4 months to become apparent. Revision surgery can be considered if you are unhappy with the results at 6 months post-op.
The settling of implants depends on various factors, such as implant type and whether they are textured or smooth. Revision may be necessary for lower positioned implants if settling does not occur. Following the surgeon's instructions, including band use and massage, can help achieve desired results.
Hello, thank you for expressing your concerns. It is typically expected for implants to take 3-6 months to fully settle. If you have not noticed any improvement within that timeframe, I recommend consulting with your surgeon once again. Best of luck to you!
