Muscle in breast implant pocket

It is too soon to say that anything surgical should be done. Continue with massage and a close follow up plan with your doctor. Give it 4-6 months and see. If you cut the muscle the implant can descend and bottom out so don't jump to this or overly masage.

Revisions after surgery

Are best put off as long as you can to allow yourself to heal as completely as possible. Your upper poles appear very symmetrical and if things do not change and you are happy with your upper pole appearances, focus on what can be done to the deficiencies and fat grafting is relatively simple that can make it fuller in that area. If your implants end up being malpositioned, that is a different problem. that likely will need more surgery. But for the moment, give it time... more

Give it more Time or have Surgery to further enlarge Breast Implant pockets?

If the breat implants are properly chosen, the pockets made to house them are properly created AND checked with the patient in the upright sitting position during surgery there should be no need to post-surgery "acrobatics". At this point I would not suggest any more surgery. Allow time and gravity to do their healing.

Breast asymmetry

At least from your photos, it looks like things are improving,. You really have to give it 3-4 months to see how things will finally look.

A posted before photo would really help? I bet you were very assymetric before. Appears as if you are improving. Wait at least 3 months before doing any more revisions.

Muscle cutting and breast asymmetry

You will need to wait some time to see if the result is acceptable to you. If revision is needed after months of waiting I would suggest a slightly smaller implant in a 'cold-subfascial plane'. in this way the muscle can return to a more anatomic position and does not influence breast form. I never cut the muscle as it results in strange animating forms( put your hands on your hips and press down hard and you will see what I mean). I never involve the muscle... more

Breast Asymmetry after Revisionary Breast Surgery?

Thank you for the question and series of pictures. I would suggest that you wait at least 3 to 6 month before evaluating the end results of surgery. Hopefully, the left breast and travel continue to “settle” and no further surgery will be necessary. If this does not occur then additional capsulotomy may be helpful to improve the contour of the left breast and symmetry of the breasts. Continued to follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
