The implant pocket and the implant should be in the correct position immediately after surgery. Even though the implant is correctly placed, sometimes they appear high because the lower pole of the breast has not had time to stretch out and there is post-surgical swelling in the upper part of the breast. Post-operatively, the pocket can stretch a little bit until the breast capsule matures. Most surgeons believe that the breast capsule stabilizes between 3-6 months. After 6 months, the capsule is likely mature. Although there is long term remodeling, if the implant is not in the ideal position, a revision surgery to remove or manipulate the capsule is likely needed after the 6 month mark. Every patient is unique so there can be patient-to-patient variation. There are also differences in the amount of expected maturation between silicone versus saline, textured versus smooth, and round versus shaped implants.
