Everett Breast Implant Revision doctors

A new implant is advisable when possible at the time of breast implant revision surgery.  Sometimes the added expense makes it reasonable ro re-use the implant that is in place.  If there is no sign of infection, the implant is removed, washed in sterile saline followed by an antibiotic solution.  The implant pocket is usually rinsed with an antibiotic solution as well.  Implants more than a few years old are not worth re-using as they may have outlived their usefulness.

Dear Nancy, Thank you for your photographs and question.  From your pictures I see 3 issues.  The inframammary fold is too low with the bottoming out you describe.  The edges of your implants are visible in the upper chest , giving an artificial appearance and shape.  The size is too large for your frame to look natural.  I suspect that the weight of the implant may have thinned your tissues at the bottom and that you can feel the bottom of your breast disc, like a double bubble phenomenon.  A smaller implant is advisable.  You can decide with your surgeon how much smaller to go.  A dual plane  (submuscular) placement of the implant will help to hide the edges of the implant.  You may need more than a capsolorrhaphy to secure the inframmary fold.  A material such as Strattice or Alloderm might be required to keep the fold in its elevated position.  You may also reqire some form of a lift if your skin envelope is stretched out from 8 years of the large implants.  You can absolutely get a better result, but the decision making may be complex.  Find an experienced surgeon you can communicate well with.

CUI Implants have not been used in the United States for many years.  The company has been in business a long time.  I suggest you contact the company to provide you with their safety profile.
