I had 485cc anatomical shaped Mentor implant. Will I be able to redo it again using round silicone? (Photo)

You seem to have had a significantly droopy shape to your breast before surgery. It seems that you are not happy with the results, but your only option may be to treat the droopiness by performing a breast lift. Please discuss your expectations with your surgeon.

Hello,Your dissatisfaction with your result is not due to the use of an anatomically shaped implant. Your results are actually quite nice considering your were really not a good candidate for augmentation without a breast lift.Switching to a round device will not make a difference.  However, switching to an implant 50% larger will probably make a significant difference, round or shaped, possibly one that makes you happy.Best of luck!

and this includes the stretched out and uneven areolaa, the double bubble crease, and the narrow base of your natural breasts (somewhat tubular) and there are fixes for each of these and simply changing your implant will not correct them.  So maker sure your surgeon has a plan for each 'deformity' so you can anticipated a much better outcome if you have a revision.

Ok, here's the deal. Your old breasts were droopy and low. You had also features of a "constricted" breast, which in your case is a short distance from the inferior mammary  crease to the nipple. Your surgeon put your implant low and used a shaped implant in order to give the bottom of the breast projection, so you didn't need a lift. And it pretty much worked, except you have a slight ridge and I assume you want to look bigger and higher. My huge advice is to leave it the hell alone. I think the ridge may go away, as the ridge is the old inframammary crease and these things have a "memory" as we say. If you swap to round now the ridge won't ever go away and 700cc is too large unless you are a stripper. Think about it.

I would wait 6-12 months . You could do a round gel implant but will need a breast lift.  You have significant protsis and needed a lift done at your first surgery as seen in your pictures.   Round implants will give you a nice result.  Go to a board certified plastic surgeon.  Good luckAndrew Cohen MD

Hello and thank you for your question.  You can definitely switch to round silicone implants, but your breast shape will still not be appealing if you do not get a breast lift. You need to go to a board certified plastic
surgeon with expertise in aesthetic breast surgery who is not afraid to
do a lift and augmentation at the same time. I have found that some
surgeons are not comfortable with lifting techniques and either do not perform
a lift, or do not do an aggressive enough lift, and this leads to continued sagging (even
though some patients can get recurrent sagging due to
gravity/genetics/tissue quality).When I discuss with my patients about breast lifting
techniques and
also
use of implants, I break down the different topics into parts. The

easy way to
decipher what each procedure produces is that implants increase breast
volume
and add upper pole fullness. Implants are placed in either a
subglandular or
subpectoral pocket centered over the left and right chest breast
footprint. When you have ptosis/sagging, where the
nipple-areola complex is at the fold or lower, your breast will
continue to hang
off of your chest onto your upper abdomen even after implants. In fact,
in patients with such sagging who undergo an augmentation
without a lift, their breast tissue hangs off of the implant that is
sitting on their chest, creating a shape like Snoopy's nose, hence
called a
"snoopy" deformity. Implants can not give a therapeutic lift and
taking shortcuts will only lead to suboptimal results. In some
borderline cases
of ptosis, breast augmentation can be performed and if there is
unsatisfactory
sagging, then a lift can be performed later at a second stage, but in
your
case, an in person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon will be most instrumental in going over
your lifting options in conjunction with implants.

Two lifting techniques that are very good ones in the right
patient and I use are based on the following:
1) if it is mainly the nipple position that needs lifting, I like the
circumareolar approach (also called a donut lift)
vs
2) if a large portion of the breast tissue/weight needs to be lifted, a
circumvertical and sometimes a full anchor incision is needed as the
circumareolar approach in my mind is not strong enough to hold the weight of
the breast and results in stretching of the areola and drooping over time.
Click on the link referenced
below and scroll down and the two examples listed are of patients whom had both
mastopexy and augmentation and you can see one patient in whom the
circumareolar approach was sufficient whereas the other needed the
circumvertical incision. I hope this helps you and do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can be of further assistance to you.Sincerely, Dr. Sean Kelishadi@sskplasticsurg on Instagram

Thank you for the photo and question and the simple answer is YES but make sure you see an expert in the field to give you the desired result Dr Corbin

Your preoperative photos show that your breasts were ptotic and significantly constricted. This combination of conditions is challenging to correct with placement of round or anatomic implants alone. If you simply remove your current anatomic implants, and replace them with round, the new implants will not improve the crease or constriction lines in your breasts. Additional time may stretch this area out. But if it doesn't, then capsulotomies and radial scoring will be needed to make the constriction lines better. Thank you for sharing your photos and concerns. Best wishes.Dr. Gregory Park
