Sientra hsc+ gel (gummy bears), ultra high profile 510cc both sides. having a revision next month.They are not symmetrical. My right breast is a little larger and drops down more than the left. The left didn’t settle as low as the right. I developed cording (axillary web syndrome) in my left armpit that felt like it was attached to my nipple, felt a tug at my nipple when raising arm. I had the fat pads lipoed during the procedure as rec. by my surgeon. I had only ever experienced this 1other time when I had a large abscess lanced under that same armpit 4 yrs ago. Could cording have possibly interfered with implant dropping fully? I was able to relieve cording through stretching/massage within a month/2. My surgeon didn’t have an answer. The difference in drop/size aren’t a big difference but enough I can see it when not wearing a bra in some outfits and it makes me self conscious. The 2nd reason is right breast implant FLIPPED inside of me a few months ago. I was very lightly massaging my breast like my surgeon instructed me to do daily. I was able to flip back. So far the plan is to go slightly larger. Maybe 600cc left and 550-575 right? And a lift on the right. To fix the asymmetry and fill the right pocket more and she will suture the pocket to make it smaller. Does this sound like a good plan? I am concerned about further nerve damage. Will going in the same incisions, top my nipples, cause further lack of sensitivity issues? Or is under breast a better option for this?

Dear Original787943,
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...
From the photos it does not seem that your implant is obviously displaced. The implants seem to have settled behind each nipple. You will have some natural movement of the implant as you move. Visit with your surgeon for an evaluation if you continue to be concerned.
Thank you for your question. Capsulorrhaphy with or without Galaflex on the right side could be your best first step. It can tighten the stretched capsule on the right, reduce lateral movement, and provide a more lifted, centered position. Adjusting the left side is not advisable because it may...
