Seattle Breast Augmentation Revision Doctor Recommendations

I had breast implant revision surgery recently to replace saline implants which visibly wrinkled. I have very little breast tissue and therefore chose the Mentor CPG "gummy bear" implant. These implants even looked more wrinkled from the thicker folds of the shell.

The surgeon replaced them 3 days later with an overfilled saline implant. I now have 2 very firm, but not wrinkled, balls on my chest. I was wondering if it is possible to order a custom, more solid gummy bear implant that does not fold when held vertically?

I am 48. I am 5'6", 118 pounds. According to my surgeon, I have less breast tissue than anyone he has ever seen. I went from an athletic 32AA to a 34 DDD and I feel way out of proportion. He had to keep filling the shell with saline until there were no visible wrinkles.

I live by Seattle, Washington state. Is there a surgeon out there willing to try to give me smaller more natural looking breast? Thank you.

Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the surgery. 3) Were you treated as an individual? Did the surgeon present you with a surgical plan tailor made for you? 4) Plastic surgeons have to have a good... more
