Why Are my Breasts Still Saggy 2 Months After Mastopexy / Implants?

I had 421cc silicone implants and a mostopexy performed on 1/12/11. My breast looked "perky" for 2 weeks. At 5wks I was diagnosed with a class II CC in my rt breast, at the time it had looked like my left breast had dropped more. It's not stopped dropping and now falls deep into my arm pit and when I lie down, it has a dent where the implant and the real breast tissue merge. Also, my nipples are less than an inch from the bottom of my breast. I need a better lift. Will I be charged? I hate them

Implants and lift

I would wait several months beforer considering a revisoin. It is too early to see what the final result will be. Often the implants will descend a bit and the nipple may not look as low as you think.

Breast Lift and Implants

Breast lifting with simultaneous implants can be a challenging undertaking as many variables are put into play at the same time. First, I would recommend no surgery until 6-12 months have passed from the initial procedure. This waiting period is important to see how the implant and the tissues will finally settle out. At that point, one will have to assess the following: Is the implant in the proper vertical position i.e. centered behind the nipple/areola? Is there residual... more
