Is This a Breast Augmentation Gone Wrong? 700CC Silicone Implants with Benelli Lift. (photo)

Hello Doctors, I am nearly two months out of a breast augmentation with benelli lift. I was initially ok with my results but as the weeks have passed, my left breast has continued to drop further and further. My doctor has repeatedly brushed my concerns away. At this point I am nothing but sad and regretful of my surgery. I spent almost 9K total and feel I was cheated. Please let me know what your opinions are about the pictures below and if I am bottoming out or had wrong implant placement.

Is This a Breast Augmentation Gone Wrong?

To comment on the results it would take a better photo to include the tops of the shoulders down to the upper abdomen, front and side views, so I hope you will resubmit with better pictures. But it does sound like the left pocket is either too big or got stretched out by a pretty large and heavy implant. If it turns out you need the pocket reshaped, wait at least 4-6 months after surgery. It will be hard to make an internal repair hold up with such a heavy implant but it can sometimes... more
