What Does "Drop and Fluff" Mean in Breast Augmentation? | Op. Dr. Erman Ak

What Does "Drop and Fluff" Mean in Breast Augmentation? "Drop and Fluff" refers to the natural process breast implants go through as they settle into place after surgery. Initially, implants may sit high on the chest and feel firm or tight due to swelling and muscle tightness. Over time, they soften, settle ("drop"), and round out ("fluff"), giving a more natural shape. ⏳ Timeline of the Drop and Fluff Process ✅ First 1-2 Weeks: Breasts appear high, swollen, and tight. Nipples may look lower or downward-facing. One breast may drop faster than the other (normal). ✅ 2-6 Weeks Post-Surgery: Swelling reduces, and the implants start to drop lower into the breast pocket. Breasts feel softer and rounder. ✅ 3-6 Months Post-Surgery: Implants fully settle into their final position. The lower pole expands ("fluff"), making the breasts look fuller and more natural. Scars begin to fade. What Affects Drop and Fluff? ✔ Implant Placement – Under-the-muscle (submuscular) implants take longer to drop than over-the-muscle. ✔ Implant Size & Type – Larger or firmer implants may settle differently. ✔ Skin Elasticity – Tighter skin may delay the process. ✔ Post-Surgery Care – Massage (if recommended by the surgeon) may help implants settle faster. 💡 Key Takeaways 🔹 Don’t panic if implants look high or uneven early on—it’s temporary! 🔹 Final results take up to 6 months, so patience is key. 🔹Massage & wearing the right post-op bra can help implants settle properly.
