I have 1000cc`s saline implant with 850 implant bag, I have high profile, I am 5`7 waist 26.5, hips 37. I work out alot weight, yoga aerobics. Now my observation my Breast is sitting like regular breast, droopy but far apart. I do not like them much anymore. I want that fake high profile look. My breast procedure was TUBA . I was considering getting 625cc`s, but since I have larger implant how will 625cc`s workout for my extra skin, would I need a silcon to have high profile, different incision?

Implant exchange

You have a difficult problem that really requires an examination. First you look like you have ptosis. Second the implants are too large and displaced. You can and should go smaller, but you more than likely will need some sort of a lift.

Too large implants create problems

Hi 1000orless, Thank you for sending the pictures, it is very helpful. In my opinion you have a very difficult problem to correct. I am also concerned that you have expectations which are not possible to achieve. Your implants are definitely too large. The breasts appear to need a breastlift. The implant size that will fit your body will be much smaller than what you now have. You appear to have significant distortion of the tissue and the implant... more

Downsizing from 1000 cc implants

You have a significant problem. The 1000 cc implants caused significant thinning of your breast tissues, as well as atrophy of the breast tissue. You cannot get the same quality result now as you would have had you gone to the same final implant from the beginning. I am not a fan of high profile implants. You cannot force the shape of an implant onto a breast (maybe with the Allergan 410 Gummy bear implants, but they are not cleared by the FDA yet). High profile implants cause excessive... more

Correcting for problems caused by the first procedure

This result was either the inexperience and acts of the surgeon or the problem of doing whatever the patient says they want without a concern for the consequences. Thus we see the problems caused by putting in implants that were too big for the breast -- like forcing too big a foot into too small a shoe -- as well as issues like the lack of control of the pocket with a TUBA approach and the likelihood of needing to revise and the inability to revise or replace the implants without a new... more

Large Breast Implants

To downsize your implants, I would suggest silicone, under the muscle, high-profile implants. You will need a mastopexy procedure to remove the extra skin. However, you should be able to achieve a very nice result while also maintaining the look you are desiring. Good Luck.

Challenges after 1000cc breast implants

Reducing your implants to 650cc may result in a look that is unsatisfactory to you, and high profile implants in the current pockets may behave like a ball in a sock. You have very thinned tissue and the switch will be a challenge. We bet a full mastopexy will be needed to keep things together. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

You will need lift and smaller implants

Your implants are too big for your breast tissue and it has over stretched your breast tissue and skin. You will need to have them removed and replaced with smaller implants. You will need to have lift to reposition your nipple. Because of above muscle implants and over stretching the breast tissue,your risk of having complication after the lift will be very high. Please make sure your surgeon has taken care of the similar situations.

Breast revision

Your pictures are very helpful. You are right in that you breasts are "droopy but far apart". Achieving the look you want will be difficult because your skin is streched out and your nipples are very low. It seems as if you will need a different incision and a lift to improve the aesthetics as well as repositioning the implants and suturing the pocket to make it smaller. You might be best served by 2 separate operations to correct your... more

Revise Breast Surgery

Thank you for the question and pictures. Unfortunately, it is hard to know exactly what is going on with your breasts without examining you. You would be best served by in person examination by a plastic surgeon with significant experience with revisionary breast surgery. Best wishes.
