3 Months Post Op and Still Having Problems with Deformity

I posted a question regarding a deformity when I was a few weeks post op. This is a follow up as I am now 3 months post op. I have expressed my concerns many times with my surgeon, and more less was told I was over reacting. I am experiencing my Right Breast is obviously smaller, and slides under my armpit when laying down. They are both saggy, and do not look like implants AT ALL. What is your opinion on what I am experiencing please. Thank you.

Ptosis and breast revision

I agree that you need a more aggressive lift than what may have been performed previously, and that there is some asymmetry of the implants. Having said that, pictures only tell part of the story.

I am assuming you got the left and right mixed up. the breast on the left appears to have a high riding implant with poor pocket placement, too high and too lateral (towards the armpit). based on the appearance of the right breast I do not think a lift will be required, just more precision in fashioning the new pockets for the implants. a lift can always be... more

You wil need to have lift and implant pocket revision.

Problems after breast surgery

It is for certain the case that the more slender patients with lax breasts have a much higher percentage of issues after breast augmentation surgery. It may be that you will need a revision to move your implant up and in but even more than that, you need a full lift as the minimal lift you have had has not corrected the ptosis you started with. This will involve more scars, but it is the only way to get a great result as implants alone won't give you one.
