BA + BL almost a year ago, got 350cc's HP gummy bear implants. Bottomed Out? (photos)

Question

I had a BA BL almost a year ago. Before surgery I was a 34C, 5'2" and 115lbs. I got 350cc's HP gummy bear implants under the muscle. Now I'm a 34DDD. I am unhappy with my results as I really wanted upper pole fullness. I still can't go without a bra and strapless bras don't hold my breasts up. My surgeon brushed off my concerns and I'm not sure what to do.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.  All you needed was 100-200 cc implants to take you to a D or DD.  At this time, your implants are too big and too heavy and that is why they have bottomed out.  I recommend removing the large implants, replace with smaller ones and revise the breast lift.  The technique I recommend is a mini lift.  Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  At the same time, the implants can be exchanged for smaller ones.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Your photos suggest your appearance could be improved by adjusting the position of your implants. Options to achieve this can be discussed with your surgeon. Start by revisiting your concerns and expressing your dissatisfaction.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The photos show too much tissue at the bottom of the breast.  A revision of your lift is needed to correct this.  If your surgeon is not responsive to your concerns I encourage you to visit with a different board certified plastic surgeon.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You have too
Much skin in the lower portion of your breast. You need to have the lollipop lift converted to a full anchor lift to remove the excess skin.

It looks like you may want a revision of your mastopexy to decrease the distance from your nipple to your fold. 
Good luck
