Dropped & Boxy Again - what causes this? (Photo)

April 9, 2024
Asked By:A.Class.Act in Florida, FL

Nine months ago, I had a breast revision due to significant dropping of my breasts over the inframammary fold. Despite replacing 325cc silicone implants with 400cc gummy bear ones, both breasts remain boxy, dropped again, with flatness under the nipple and increased distance between them. I'm a 45yo female, 120#, fairly active. Unsure if my expectations are unrealistic or if this is my anatomy. Reluctant to undergo another revision. What causes this?
