I received a breast lift with implants. I have a deformity where every time I move my arms you can see the implant. It is embarrassing. My surgeon said “they look perfect”. This is unacceptable. Can this be corrected?
Answer: Implant visibility is a common complaint Visibility of the implant is a common complaint from thin patients. It is difficult to tell based on photographs alone whether this creases caused by muscle contraction or simply the level of subcutaneous fat and breast gland overlying the implant. This would require an in person evaluation and receipt of previous surgical documentation.

Answer: Implants If you have little breast tissue present there, a fat transfer can add volume to help hide the implants. If you implant are on top of the muscle, you can have them placed behind the muscle to hide the edge.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. You clearly have a double bubble. It is more common on the inferior pole of the breast, not the center of the breast. This can be fixed with a medial capsulorrhaphy, internal bra, procedure. I wrote the very first paper on capsulorrhaphy. Best wishes to you.
