375cc tear drop implant too big? Should I have a revision with a different implant type or smaller cc’s? (photos)

The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Your breasts were never a good candidate for breast implants alone. Your original breast shape dictated the need for a breast lift. Going forward, round implants are more predictable and safer than shaped ones because the textured surface of shaped implants do not lock them into place. Further, there is no difference in how a shaped implant affects breast shape compared to a round implant. You'll need to see a surgeon who knows this and is able to deliver a great result. Your current surgeon doesn't display either an aesthetic eye or he doesn't feel comfortable performing breast lifts.

Dear breastfeedingmom,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I’m sorry you’re disappointed with your results. I don’t think that changing the implants will help your breasts to not point down. You will need a breast lift to do that, but that would add a lot more scars to your breasts. So it would be best to talk to your surgeon in person about your feelings about your results, and goals for the outcome. Then he/she can give you a much better idea of what you can do to be happy with the way it looks.

You need a lift. Please do not go larger for you will just have larger and more sagging breasts. The augmentation did not correct the need for the lift.

Dear breastfeedingmom,
It is apparent from the photos that you are indeed currently a breast feeding mom. Pregnancy, with or without breast feeding, will affect the appearance of the breasts. So, you can not expect to keep the same result of your breast augmentation before you became pregnant. For a valid assessment of your breast augmentation, or breast lift needs, you will have to have discontinued breast feeding for at least 6 months. Good luck!
