Do I Have The Waterfall Effect? (photo)
I had BA and BL march 2011. From day 1 I could tell my breast werent going to look like I wanted them too. No matter if im laying down standing up sitting up my implants remain under my armpits giving me major side boob and leaving me with no fullness and flat chest. When i lay down my skins falls to the side also and leaves me a huge gap and saggy skin where my implant should be. my nipples are flat and it looks like my breast tissue is falling off my implant. I have 480cc in both under muslce.

Concerns after Breast Augmentation/Lifting Surgery?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Based on your pictures and description, I think you're dealing with a lateral breast implant displacement problem. Your breast implants move off to the side, especially when you lie down. Correction would involve an internal suture repair of the breast implant pocket ( capsulorraphy), decreasing the size of the pockets and moving the implants toward the midline.

Problems after Lift/Aug

Displacement of breast implant
I agree with you that your implant has shifted out of position. This is usually due to over dissection creating too large a space for the implant. Sometimes it can also be due to too much use of the arms in the early post op period, if the implant is put beneath the muscle. As the muscle is tightened it can push the implant down and outward. Return to your surgeon to discuss treatment options. It is usually not hard to fix.

Hi.

We do not have your before pictures and after pictures shows the things that you mentioned. You still have a lot of loose skin and need to have revision. The implant pocket need to be revised.
