Revision implant not dropping? Will this get better or is a further revision required? (Photo)

DorabilOct 22, 2022
Hi there i have had a breast lift and implant two years ago and needed to have a revision which I had at the beginning of June still having problems and I am getting very depressed as my surgeon is not interested in helping me at all and keeps telling me to be patient but I have been patient prior that and his work was done poorly. The s where the lift was done feel very tight when I am laying almost on my side it looks square I am so disappointed. Will this get better or

The dropped implant is sitting somewhat low and needs to be raised. The front view of the other breast looks like the implant is in a good place, but you only posted one view. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

The size needed should be based upon measurements and what your tissue will support instead of what you think you should have. Otherwise, with implants too large and heavy, your tissue will thin and sag and look worse. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Yes, the lateral pocket can be tightened to prevent too much movement of the implant when laying down. The incision used, unless it is axillary, can be used to correct this.
