Making sure I cover all bases for revision

tigerlily357Mar 6, 2024
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

Photos would be helpful, but the areolar incision has a higher risk of infection than the underneath incision. Unless the beast tissue is thin in that area, I would suggest the same incision. E coli is bacteria that you are probably picking up in the bathroom. You need to wash your hands very...
