Breast Revision Nightmare (450 Cc, Silicone, Constant Pain, Still Have Symmastia/bottoming Out)
Had breast revision a month ago to correct mild symmastia, and bottom and middle bottoming out. I went to the "best" breast doctor (according to other doctors), and my results are a nightmare. Paid $15,000, and right after the surgery I could see the problems he left me with. He has not said yet he will correct the problems. Please advise on what should be done. He used alloderm/stattice and now I have a raised area that he's not telling me what it is.

Post aug
This is a tough problem to slove.the dermal matrix is great for rippling and I would give it a little time.When you bend over and you see rippling and this is due to a lack of soft tissue.One thing to consider is fat/stem cell injections with PRP to augment the soft tissues.

It does appear that you still have some mild symmastia as well as asymetry. The key is not what is put in the breast. Consider Alloderm or Strattice to be a tool that the surgeon uses to shape the breast. The key is your surgeon altering dynamic forces and structures within the breast to create harmony and a beautiful look.

Symmastia after breast augmentation
It appears that you still have some degree of symmastia after your surgery, even though ADM (acellualr dermal matrix) was used-Strattice or Alloderm. Usually using this synthetic skin helps to keep the implants separated and corrects the symmastia. You may want to seek a second opinion if you are not satisfied with your surgeon's explanation or the current appearance of your breasts. You may also consider decreasing the size of your implants (450cc) which may be contributing to the...
