Does a breast implant that has fallen below IMF fold need revision using strattice in order to prevent dropping again?

Asked By:AA2C in 30062 - Marietta, GA

One implant has dropped too far where my nipple is sitting high on top of breast mound and the implant sits below the IMF fold. Is strattice usually necessary in a revision for this problem to prevent the implant from dropping again? My revision will also use a smaller implant than original as well as a lower profile. Original was 345cc inspira high profile with a projection of 4.9cm. I will be revising with a 300cc mentor implant at a moderate profile. Thank you.
