First Surgery was 2004 Mentor Saline implants. Not sure of the ccs, but it brought me from a small C to DD. Second Surgery to replace implants and lift was done Oct 2021. 620cc silicone implants were used and made me a very large DD+. A revision was performed 2023 to fix unsightly scars. After lift revision scarring unchanged. Left breast is higher moved away from center. Seeking expert opinions all over US. Worried about bottoming out over time. Caucasian 50's mesh, anchor scar technique?

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Resourceful845473, 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: Implants You need to go smaller and lift again. With such heavy implants that are too large for your frame, they will not stay where you want them. You may also need mesh for better support.
