I had a breast lift performed simultaneously with saline implant placement under the muscle. It has been three weeks since the surgery, and I have noticed that one breast has not dropped while the other breast, which has dropped, shows rippling. I have contacted my surgeon, and I am scheduled to see him soon. However, I would appreciate any insights or suggestions regarding what can be done to address these concerns.
It is still early in your recovery at three weeks, and it is possible that the other implant may drop over the next few weeks. It's important to continue following up with your surgeon to monitor the progress.
It is not uncommon for one side to "drop" before the other in the early post-operative period. It is important to be patient at this stage. Your surgeon may recommend using a strap, such as a "bandeau," to apply gentle downward pressure on the upper implant and aid in its settling. Alternatively, a sports bra placed across the upper chest can serve the same purpose. Consistency is key, so ensure you follow the instructions regarding the strap. Wearing it for a few hours a day will have limited effect, while continuous pressure over days and weeks will yield better results.
