I had implants (260) and a uplift 3yrs ago and was really pleased with result at first.

After a few months i noticed that my skin under my nipple was sagging and my size was now not as big as it was. I went back to my surgeon to ask what could be done. They agreed to once again tighten my skin and reposition my nipple. now 3yrs after my initial surgery the same is happening again!!!! Once again I have gone back to see my surgeon and they had offered me two options, one to have it tightened again and move my nipple higher or alternatively move my implant infront of the muscle and this would allow for a larger implant. I am unsure what to do as i want this to be my last revision and achieve my goal .
