Breast Implants: Q&A

Need Advice. Getting Pocket Revision and Bigger Implants 6 Months Later.

I just had my 6 month check up. I posted previously about my right implant falling under my arm, and my PS agrees. He will close the lateral pocket & open the medial pocket. I decided to go bigger at the same time. I currently have 265cc,both breasts,& went with full projection, under the muscle. I was concerned about lack of cleavage & my implants not moving. What should I be considering this time around? smooth? less projecection? volume? I do want bigger, but worry about more rippling.

Breast revision surgery is always more difficult than the original procedure

It is a tricky thing to correct an implant that has moved. If cleavage is your concern perhaps consider going over the muscle will give you more cleavage definition. Ultimately without seeing your pictures it it difficult to give you any concrete advice. Perhaps seeing a plastic surgeon within a driving distance of your location would be beneficial Sincerely, Martin Jugenburg, MD Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute

The best implant for you

There are many factors to consider when deciding on the best implant for you. The consensis is that a smooth moderate profile gel implant will look the best for the most patients. The size and implant type though will depend on your particular breast and situation, and the look you are wishing for.
