Making sure I cover all bases for revision

March 6, 2024
Asked By:tigerlily357

I had a full breast lift with implants (650 hp) under the muscle with mesh. I was replacing 450 moderate implants from 2015. I am still maintaining 170 lb weight loss so I had snoopy boob but didn’t really care at time. Left boob didn’t drop and clearly high/tight and flat on side, right side has dropped but now slightly loose/saggy since tissue is relaxed. My surgeon is fixing them both and I’m curious what would be standard procedure for each to get the best result Thank you

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS says:

No, do not go larger. You actually need to go smaller and have your medial pockets tightened. Going larger will make things worse. Your frame and tissue will not support larger implants.
