Why Can't I Get Normal, Round Results?

Had first surgery 2/2010 moderate profile 305cc. Had revision in 8/2010 by same surgeon. First time there was no fullness on top, right breast was going towards arm, and left was falling past crease. 2nd revision-I have fullness on top, they looked deformed, there is no implant on bottom just hanging skin, nipples are low. Why is this happening?

Implant selection and subfascial placement

There are two things that create the undesirable aesthetics. Firstly the implant base width appears to be too narrow for your chest wall dimensions. Secondly you have undesirable lateral inferior stretchning that is very common with dual plane placement. Placing breast implants under the muscle creates a few aesthetic problems. If you look at your picture, your breasts are too far apart at midline to have a natural appearance. any time your arm moves this appearance... more

You ned bigger implants or lift

You do not look deformed .Your implants are sitting high and breast tissue falling off the implant. You also do not have the nipple projection. You have large nipple aerola complex and this in is consistent with previous pregnancy or weight loss . You had much bigger breast during the pregnancy and the implants need to fill your breast back to that size . If you do not want to be very big,then you need to have lift.

Breast Shape after Breast Augmentation

It is difficult to assess completely, but it appears that you need a breast lift to give you the shape that you desire. As was mentioned previously, any breast asymmetry that is present preoperatively may be worsened postoperatively. This is probably what you are seeing with regards to one nipple pointing in one direction compared to the other one. Best wishes.

Breast implant visibility: golf and volley balls versus silk sheets and comforters.

I know this is a crude example but it helps to make the point. If you hide a golf ball (implant) under a silk sheet (tissue), the appearance will be very ball-like. However, if you hide the baseball under a thick comforter, the thickness of the comforter will greatly influence the result. A very thick comforter may make the ball barely visible. The comforter will determine the overall appearance of the result. If you change the golf ball to a volley... more

Breast augmentation

Everyone has some asymmetry before and after surgery. Without an exam it is hard to say what can be done for you.

Results from different surgeons

I would have to say you do not look deformed and that this is not necessarily a bad result. The issue really is what you started with before surgery and what you expected to see/achieve after surgery. Based on what we start with we cannot reach a certain end result with a specific patient no matter what surgical technique is performed and which surgeon does it. From the surgeon's stand point it can be hard to accurately depict to the prospective patient what the actual end result... more

Getting the Results You Want with Breast Augmentation

First of all, you don't look "deformed" and your result are natural without signs of particular postoperative problems. However, this may not be the "look" you were going for with your decision to proceed with surgery. Your anatomy is key in determining what your options might be. If you want a higher and rounder look, then you need a high (or maybe even ultra high profile) implant combined with a lift to give you that kind of look. You... more

You might need a lift

If you are bottom heavy with low placed nipples you might need a lift as the implants won't lift you, just make you bigger. Check back with your surgeon and ask about this.
