Breast lift and Augmentation Question
I had breast lift and augmentation on Jun 11. Is it normal for your breast to get softer and start to droop a little? They look much better than they use to before the surgery but until about a week or two ago they were much perkier and had a much better shape. Any opionion/advice would be appreciated.
It is my understanding that when the swelling goes down, they get softer and settle. That happened in 1984 when I had my reduction, and now with my implants 3 weeks ago, I am waiting for the swelling to go down, and am told they will, as I said, soften and settle and be more normal.

Yes, it's normal. I'm about 6 months out and if you didn't see the scars, you probably couldn't tell that I had the surgery. I opted for a little larger than I was prior to my weight loss. They can continue to change for up to a year from what I've read. Some people think the implants "drop" lower in the pocket, but not really. The best description of the "dropping & fluffing" I saw was a sketch that showed how after time the contents of the implant settle lower within the implant due to gravity. You don't say what kind, but I would assume this sketch was referring to silicone. I would expect that saline would settle quicker.
Don't rush out and buy bras. I did after a few months when the doctor said they were pretty much the way they were going to be. I went up a cup size since then.

I had a lift and augmentation using saline 9 months ago. Mine are still hard and cleavage is hard to come by. Before I lost weight and had big boobs I would have cleavage popping out the top of t shirts.
I can go braless. Which is good. No worry about bouncing all over the place as they are pretty much not moving.
Vitamin E is supposed to soften them up. I use the oil and take the softgel 4000iu. I should note I have only been taking Vitamin E for 3 weeks as I was sick afterwards and was just told at my 9 month visit to start Vitamin E
