My implants dropped too low. Is it possible to move them up? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I've done my surgery just over 7 months ago. I'm 34 y.o, 169 cm tall/ 63 kg. My doctor used Nagor round smooth 420g implants/dual plane. A different doctor on previous pre-surgery consultation said that my tissues are quite soft so there is a risk of early sagging, especially with a heavier implants. There was a little asymmetry,but I asked my doctor to not disrupt my natural folds, so there is more support.I just wonder if it's possible to move them up?And how urgent is it

Thank you for your question.  A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery. Your breasts have definitely bottomed out.  The fix is fairly straightforward with an internal bra procedure.  The formal name is inferior capsulorrhaphy.  I wrote the very first paper on this topic over 20 years ago.  You should be able to have an excellent result.  You may need to have mesh placed as well and should be able to have an excellent result.  Best wishes to you.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, your pockets can be tightened and move your implants back up higher. However, your tissue is not supporting the weight of these implants now, so you need to go smaller. You may still need extra support with mesh as an internal bra. Please do not go larger.
