What Type of Revision May Be Necessary?

Hi, It is most of the doctors opinion here that I may need an inferior release in order for my 325cc mod+gel implants to drop more after submuscular insertion (10 months post op vertical mastopexy).If so what is involved. Will it only involve a re-cut under the breast with no need to reopen any vertical scars etc, and merely a reposition of the implant and release of muscle?If so is there a danger of implants then dropping too far later on. Approx 20mm lower would be perhaps ideal?Thanks.

I cannot tell if the bottoms of your breast are not filled out by the implants because the implants are simply too high, as they appear to be, or whether there is scar... more
