I have gel implants but my breasts are hanging or implant is slipping hard to tell
Answer: Find the right surgeon to help you decide the right treatment for you Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.

Answer: Breast Lift After Breast Implants An in office exam would be necessary to determine whether the implants need to be removed or replaced. The breast lift can be performed without changing the implants. For the lift, I typically start with the smallest incision and custom tailor each breast lift to the shortest scar possible. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results you are seeking.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Breast lift after BA Dear 22Izaah22,yes, you can get breast lift after breast augmentation. However, I would recommend you to get a formal evaluation by your plastic surgeon or another board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast Lift or Implant Malposition As you mentioned, it can be difficult for a patient to determine if her implant has shifted or dropped, or if she simply has drooping of the breasts, or breast ptosis. You should absolutely see a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for an evaluation. This could be your original surgeon if you have confidence and a good rapport with him or her, or a new surgeon if not. The surgeon will be able to give you options after examining you and determining your goals. Patients absolutely have breast lifts after they already have implants, and some patients do need revision of the implant pockets to correct problems such as implant slippage/displacement (or both). There are also different types of lifts, with different amounts of scarring, depending on your specific situation. Good luck!
