Do I need another breast pocket surgery correction? (Photo)

November 14, 2023
Asked By:a.grey in Saratoga, CA

I've had my breasts done a few times and this last time was in 2020 and the implant pocket was tightened to prevent it from falling back into my armpits. The implants have dropped significantly and have migrated towards my armpits again. Is there anything that can be done? Can I have a procedure to just tighten the pocket again and not replace the entire implants. Or is this just my body and it will never get better?
