Doctor Recommendation for Breast Augmentation Revision

I had a breast augmentation 21 days ago and my surgeon now says that my breast tissue is falling over my implants and the correction is a breast lift.As this problem is due to my original surgeon not providing the proper treatment,I am beginning a search for a new surgeon for the revision.

I am willing to travel on the eastern coast of the US or between Montreal and Toronto in Canada for the most experienced surgeon.I need an idea of cost and experience with this kind of deformity that you have.

Breast augmentation revision recommendations.

I am sorry you are already concerned with your result being unsatisfactory just 21 days after surgery. It truly is too early to assess what things may look like as time goes by and your implants settle, drop, and fill your breast skin brassiere better. It is surprising that your surgeon either did not tell you that this might occur with your pre-operative breast anatomy, or that he did not anticipate the result you are seeing at this point in your recovery. You may well require revision (it... more

Sorry to hear of your problem. Get a second opinion from a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. You can get a referral from the websites of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery.org) or the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (surgery.org)

Breast augmentation and breast lift

21 days after breast augmentation is very early after surgery and your breast shape may change and improve significantly over the next 6 weeks or so. If the breast pockets around the implants are tight, breast massage my help improve both the tightness and shape. Please give you breast implants time to settle. I usually advise my paients to wait a minimum of 6 months before considering breast augmentation revision. There is no harm in waiting and allowing your... more

Drooping breasts after Implants

There are a few causes for breast droop after placing implants. The first is failure of the surgeon to recognize significant droop and recommend correction at the time of augmentation. There are also occasions when the patient pushes the surgeon to avoid a lift, because of a desire to avoid scars or added expense, and then forgets that the lift was advised in the first place. It is sometimes possible to avoid the lift by placing the implants above the muscle so that they fill and enlarge the... more

Breast revision

This is a common complaint. Implants are often placed but they in and of themselves do not correct ptosis or sag. A lift of some sort often is required. I perform this procedure all the time. Good luck with your search. As for the cost, it is difficult to say without an exam and knowing what needs to be done.

Breast Implants - Revision, Secondary Mastopexy, 21 Days Post-Op

HI aztecprincesse in Central Canada, It's hard to give a price quote without seeing what you look like. So the first step would be a series of photos (I usually recommend 5 - front, each side, and 45 degrees - from about four feet away and against a plain background. That would, at least, be a starting point. But 21 days is a little early. You'll probably need to wait at least 3 months before proceeding. At that point, the specific procedure(s) that... more

Breast augmentation revision

Photos would be helpful to see how severe the drooping over the implant is. Possibly with time the implants will drop and the skin will stretch to the point where it appears acceptable. Otherwise, you may need some sort of lift to tighten the skin.

Breast augmentation -getting it right the first time

Without photos or a face to face examination and not knowing what was done at surgery or what you looked like before surgery it is impossible to say what needs to be done (skin surgery only, implant surgery only or both skin and implant surgery) to correct the current problem. 21 days is usually to early to assess the results of a breast augmentation surgery however if the surgery is not performed to standard you can often assess the poor result right away. That may or may not apply to you... more
