Help with RE-fixing Asymmetry After Prior Augmentation & Lift (Smooth/textured? Over/under Muscle?) (photo)
I am seeking advice on what steps to take for my breast surgery soon. I plan to have a lift on both as well as my implants replaced and larger. I despise them not only due to the asymmetry, encapsulation, and droopiness, but also because of how the implants spring UP so easily (from lifting, tension) and leave just saggy tissue and skin hanging below -- Can this be fixed with lipo for my R breast? Or would textured/smooth implants benefit me? ANY suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

I do not think liposuction will correct your issues. If you are having animation deformities as well as a capsule issue, then an exam in person is key.

Concerns about Revisionary Breast Surgery?
Thank you for the question and picture.
I think that the best advice I can provide to you would be to very careful in the selection of your plastic surgeon. You will want to make sure that your plastic surgeon has significant experience performing revisionary breast surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of patients that he/she has helped achieve results that you would be pleased with.
For example, although based on a single view photograph only, I am not...
