Techniques for Settling New Breast Implants?
There are specific bandages and dressings that can be supplied by your surgeon to help put downward pressure on your breasts. Massage may also help. In all likelihood the most important factor is time. As swelling comes down and gravity does it work the position of your implants will improve. Usually by 3-6 months the breast implants have found the correct position.
Clinical Context
Where your implant sits — under the muscle versus above it — can affect how long settling takes, since deeper placement means more tissue has to stretch and soften. The capsule around the implant naturally relaxes over time, which is the main reason position keeps improving even without extra intervention. Your surgeon can tell you whether massage or a support bra makes sense for your specific implant type and incision, since not every technique suits every case.
