I had Sientra 505cc HP textured gummy bear implants placed 02/2022. They are still sitting very high and the bottom portion of my breasts feel empty. Is it likely that I will need a revision?
Answer: Lift needed Pre-operatively, your breasts were hanging and you needed a lift. Unfortunately, your surgeon did not perform a lift but just placed the implants. Your implants are at one level and your breast tissue is at another level. You will need a lift and the pockets redone. If your implants are retro-pectoral then the technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, the implants can be placed submuscular.

Answer: Implants Yes, because textured implants do not drop or move from where they were placed. I prefer the smooth round implants for fewer risks.

Answer: Textured breast implants won't drop Texturing on the surface of breast implants is intended to promote formation of a scar capsule that adheres to the implant and prevent rotation. This also means they aren't expected to drop.
