I had 300 cc saline implants done in 2004. I have animation deformity pretty badly and my left breast has dropped. (pictures make it look a lot worse than it is) In addition there is a gap between my breast bone and the implant and I have pain in my left ribs due to the implant sitting on them. My PS suggested that we move the pocket to subglandular and go up in size (I don't want a full lift - he tried) Would I be a good candidate for a donut lift or will a pocket/implant exchange fix it?

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Beautiful490340, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Breasts Measurements are needed to be sure, but you might be a candidate for the doughnut lift. Placing the implants in front of the muscle will increase the risk of sagging over time. Your pocket can be tightened to help lift you implant. I do not recommend going larger since the implant will then be heavier and more prone to sag.
