Repairing your breast

Dear Pinkdoll, I can see why you are unhappy with your breast, but there are some things to do. I have several questions which need to be answered. It appears that your implants are over the muscle. If that is the case then I would put them under the muscle and create a sling using Alloderm to support the implants. If these are saline, I would switch to silicone. That may not remove all the wrinkling but I think it will improve it significantly. As far... more

Revision Breasts Augmentation/Mastopexy Options?

Thank you for the question and pictures. I think revisionary surgery will be very helpful to you. You may want to consider conversion of the sub glandular implants to the sub muscular (dual plane) position. Additional breast lifting and tightening of the “skin envelope” will be helpful. Your plastic surgeon may be able to use the capsule tissue around the breast implant to support the lower poles of the breasts. It will be important to do your due diligence and work with... more

PHOTOS: Complicated breast lift (augmentation mastopexy) and approach for scar revision

Certainly, I would not go larger, and I wound advise you to consider smaller implants because scar revision will place tension on the already compromised wound. Another alternative is to complete this operation in two stages which may be the safest: Implant removal and revision lift, followwed by implant placement under the muscle with your desired size. see video

Breast Revision and thin skin

I totally agree with the other surgeons. Your photo reveals you likely have implants in the subglandular (above muscle) position and you have very thin skin and some hyperpigmented scars. Given your circumstances you have few options but to change the position of the implant to under the muscle. This will give you better contour and coverage at the upper part of you breast and decrease rippling. However, you also need improved coverage at the bottom of your breast.... more

Revision lift

An exam is worth a million bucks. It might be possible to fix this for you and to remove some of the unfavorable scarring, but an exam is in order. If your implants are above the muscle, I would change them to below and possible have you consider alloderm for better coverage to avoid as much rippling.

Thin coverage of your breast implants and revision surgery

Pinkdoll, By your pictures your implants appear to be above the muscle and it looks as though the discoloration under your areola, right more than left, is as a result of your breast lift and represents residual areola. You would be a good candidate for a site change to partially under the muscle to provide better upper and inner implant coverage with a revision of your mastopexy. It will be important for the revision surgeon caring for you to be able to review your previous... more
