Breast implants were done Jan’21. They were done FULL sub-muscular (not dual plane) with my pec covering the top and serratus & obliques covering the bottom because I worried about implant sag making my short torso shorter. 2 years post-op, l still love the size and feel but hate nipple position. I tape my nipples up so they meet my implants. My surgeon gave 2 options: a revision (release capsules and turn them dual plane) bringing nipples up 1” OR breast lift bringing my nipples center.
Answer: Implants Your implants are sitting too high and need to be brought down. If you try to raise your breast to fit them, your breast will settle back down since the bases cannot be moved and your nipples will be too high and pop out of bras. Go with the first option.

Answer: Mastopexy or dual plane to improve nipple position after implants This is a good question. Both are reasonable options and I think the decision depends on several factors.

Answer: Breast Lift for 24 yr old with history of hypertrophic scarring Hello @Funny2533, thank you for your question. It really depends on your goals and what the specialist can do. For example, in this type of cases I would create an anatomical lift with BRALift technique. The incision would be periareolar and L-shaped. I consider that's the minimal scarring to have an adequate results. That means a well-projected breast with the nipple and areola looking to the front. It's essential to remember that each patient's situation is unique. A direct consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is necessary to determine the most appropriate plan for your specific case. To shed more light, I have attached a video. Best wishes!

Answer: Lowering IMF It may be worthwhile to consider drooping the implants by releasing current IMF? This should be moderate, to avoid double bubble. Periareolar lift can be considered but be aware of possible wide scar around areola. Hope this helps.
