I got 210 medium profile with saline 8 months ago, I think they look too fake, I'm going to get them redone soon because of a weird issue I have (3rd photo) my doctor didn't say much about it-just that it would away? Do anyone have suggestions on size, as well as any ideas on why my breast indents when I lift up my arm?
Answer: Revision surgery Dear Vivid815284, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not provided your before photographs. At this time, your breasts are too low on the chest wall and too widely separated. The technique I recommend is 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.

Answer: Implant visibility Your body habitus is extremely lean, making this issue of looking augmented difficult to correct. It appears that your implants are over the muscle; if I am correct, placing new implants under the muscle will be very helpful at masking them with your muscle in critical areas at the midline and upper poles. The next is to change to highly cohesive silicone gel implants as they will have a softer shape and feel. More important than profile or size, implant diameter should be reconsidered along with pocket position. Your issues are complex so your surgeon needs to be facile at revision surgery and the use of resorbable mesh.

Answer: Implants If your implants are behind the muscle, there is some scar tissue pulling on the muscle when you raise your arms. A lower profile implant will be wider and will help decrease the gap. Naturally, your breasts sit apart, and they cannot be moved to be closer. A wider based, lower profile implant will help to improve this.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. A large portion my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery, and I have been in practice for 30 years. Most likely, your implants are on top of the muscle and that is what gives you the "fake "look and why your breasts are so spread apart. If you go with a lower profile implant, you will just have more wrinkling. Your mastopexy-lift was poorly performed and would need to be revised. My recommendation would be to place the implants under the muscle and redo the lift. You should be able to have an beautiful result. Best wishes to you.
