“Need Advice Regarding my Breast Augmentation”

What type of implants do you have? I use to look exactly like that when I had silicone implants. My doctor swore up and down that I did NOT have a leak. After the surgery he sat my mom down and said, well "she had a rupture".... There's nothing we can do about spilt silicone. Was she in a car accident? (note he replaced them with saline implants and I do not like my look at all, but oh well, I'm not going to continue to spend more money on boobs so soon. But that's just me.)

You may have a deflation or "bottoming out" of the right implant (if that is the one that has changed in your opinion). It's difficult to say without an examination. http://poustiplasticsurgery.com/Case_pages/caseoftheweek48b.htm As you can see, this gal had bottoming out of the left side and after surgery, has a beautiful result. It is definitely correctable.

From the photos you posted and the history you give, there seems to be a very simple answer and solution to your problem. It certainly appears that the car accident caused a rupture (leak) of your right breast implant which as you described, changed overnight. This explanation of the capsule changing is highly unlikely at best. The capsule is not the only thing keeping your implant in the position that it is in. There are surrounding soft tissues and muscle and these would not change by anything other than surgery or very slowly over time, certainly not overnight. In addition, the volume of the breast would not change and the right breast looks significantly smaller than the left in your photo. This looks like a clear case of a ruptured implant until proven otherwise. I would like to hear a follow up to your situation.

I had mastectomy and reconstructive surgery in 2006. I had a car accident on 12/31/08 and the seatbelt pushed against my right implant. It has shifted down and to the outside. My surgeon says it is a tear in the scar tissue that holds the implant in place. It has now been 8 months since the accident and I have no leakage (saline). We are doing reconstruction/revision to repair and shift the right breast - changing out the implants, too, as they may have been weakened. Yours is the first post I have seen that references a shift of implant. Good luck!
