Hi, I'm a 37 . I got breast implants back in 2008; I loved with the results but the right side got encapsulated. In March 2021 I got them changed and they did a capsulectomy in the right side. I'm very dissatisfied with the result. I was told to use a rubber around my chest to push the implant downwards but the asymmetry between the two breast is very evident. There's a way to correct this without surgery? How long take an capsulectomy in heal ? Thank you.

Thanks for your question! You do appear to be bottoming out, but it doesn't seem severe at this point. I think it is correctable. I would recommend an in-person consultation to determine if you need a capsulorrhaphy or possibly something like Galaflex to give lower pole support. Good luck!
If postoperative massage is performed correctly, this should be fairly uncommon. When it does happen, the most common reason would be scar tissue formation(capsule). Depending on how your body forms capsules around your new implants, they may sit higher than you want. This can often be improved...
Hi. With time tissues stretch over the implants and give the breast a droopy appearance (waterfall deformity). In such cases you often need to have revision surgery with a lift to tighten the skin. This would give the breasts a more perky shape again and position them back on top of the implants.
