Will I need a full revision to correct my right breast implant? Increased in size, flips and falls into armpit (photo)

August 3, 2024
Asked By:stefedwards in Boon, Michigan

I had my first set of implants in 2015, and had them replaced in 3/2023 due to capsular contracture. Went from 425cc silicone to 450cc highly cohesive silicone, only to get a massive hematoma in the left breast along with a very large indentation (also had fat transfer done to breasts), a week later had them redone, but was convinced to go to 520cc. Now, the right side literally feels unattached, it’s flipped on me several times, and falls into my armpit. Full revision? Or mesh? Sooo defeated!!!
