Do I Need a Revision? 7 Months Post-op. I Would Also Like a Tummy Tuck All and Any Advice Welcome! (photo)

I'm 7 months post-op I have 600 over filled to 650 saline mod. I don't like the look of the R breast it hangs to low. Should I go with a bigger implant or is the pocket to large? Tummy tuck- I've had 4 c-sections and i just want this ugly scar gone. One side of my stomach hangs a lil lower after my last c-section my was put back together lop-sided. My self esteem is kind of shot about my stomach. Would like some suggestions on what route to take. I'm looking to get myTT done Feb 2013.

Revision??

Breast lift Not seeing the pre-op photos makes it difficult to comment on the outcome, but overall it looks quite satisfactory. I do note the the left side nipple and areola are a bit low, and this is a minor revision that could be easily done at the time of your TT Tummy Tuck Without an in person examination it is again hard to give a complete consultation!. It looks like the skin above the navel might well reach down to the main abdomnal incision low in the abdomen, making you... more

Augment revision

Implants are not a substitute for breast lift. When implants are this large, the breasts will fall prey to gravity. With respect to your abdomen, you would benefit from a tummy tuck with flank liposuction.
