Breast revision? 255cc gummy bear + lift 8 months post opp. 110 pounds 20 years old. Posted and got great opinions but didnt post a before. What type of surgeon do I need to be looking at to fix this? Im being told from different consultations anywhere from a revision, to mesh bra, to implant exchange with saline then going in again in 6 months with silicone. Im at a loss.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. I have been in practice over 28 years. It appears that your implants most likely are on top of the muscle and you have a typical "slide down" appearance. The best fix would be to place the implants back under the muscle and revise the mastopexy/lift. You should be able to have an excellent outcome. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Your breast lift was inadequate. As you can see pre-operatively, your skin envelope was inadequate to hold up the breast tissue. The added weight of the implants did not help the situation. Also, at the time of surgery, they most likely cut the supporting ligaments. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
