Do I have snoopy deformity? How can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

Hi. I am already a few years post op. Do you think I have snoopy deformity? And how it could be fixed in my case? I have 400cc under muscle.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your question and for sharing this here.
From your side-view photo, I do not see evidence of a Snoopy or “waterfall” deformity. This condition occurs when the natural breast tissue descends (or sags slightly) while the implant remains higher in its original position, creating a step-off between the breast and implant.
In your case, the implant and breast tissue appear well-aligned and harmonious, with a smooth transition from the upper to lower pole. You look beautiful, and there’s nothing that needs to be corrected at this time.
Every patient is unique &mdash; anatomy, history, physical exam, tissue quality, goals, skin elasticity, and surgical risk profile all change what is indicated/recommended. Because of this, this should not be taken as personal medical advice. The next step is always an in-person evaluation with a board-certified plastic surgeon that can examine you and discuss individualized plan options.
Hope this helps!
