What to Do After Third Revision Surgery for Breast Implants?
I am about 4 mos. post op full anchor lift and smaller implants. I had recreation of IMF at that time pocket revsions and the lift. Prior to that I had my orginal BA which led to bottoming out on my right side which I had a revision to that did not hold. This was my 3rd surgery. I am very disapointed with the extra skin in my cleavage area and the beginings of bottoming out and the lack of upperpole fullness. What can be done at this point to create a fuller perkier breast?

This is relatively easily fixed
My only recommendation for correction of the extra skin as well as for the lack of superior pole fullness would be another revision.

Fat grafting will help
You have a problem that is not unusual . The revision for the lift and implant is very high. You may leave them as they are and accept the result . The other option is fat grafting . I have done up to 50 patient with imlant removal and fat 10 patinets with fat grafting over the imlant. . This is a conteversial issue and you need to find a surgeon that has experince.

Revision breasts
I can see the extra skin fold along the lower pole, this may be easy to treat by jsut doing a small excison of the skin. As for the upper pole fullness, that may require larger based implants, but it also may cause more problems.

What to Do After Third Revision Surgery for Breast Implants? Trying to achieve a perky result is generally not a realistic result and if accomplished, is likely ot be short lived. I would advise holding off on any more surgery for now.

Revision of Lift
From your photograph, it appears that you could benefit from having your lift revised again. This would eliminate excess skin, tighten the envelope, and help to raise your breasts, creating some more upper pole fullness.

Suggestions for breast lift and implants
Bottoming out of breast implants with or without a lift is a common problem and sometimes can recur even after an operation designed to correct the problem. If adjustments of the pocket are not successful, then sometimes a product such as Alloderm or Flex HD can be used to reinforce the lower pocket, essentially creating a sling or hammock to support the implant.
These products are expensive, however. You will need to be careful about simply trying to raise the implants as this may make...

Let everything heal, then consider alternatives
Let everything heal. The skin will contract more. Skin that doesn't contract well enough can be filled out with fat graft. I have written about this on by blog.
