Waterfall deformity? Do I need a breast implant reduction? (photo)

December 28, 2024

I had a breast augmentation almost 2 years ago and since the beginning I thought I had a waterfall deformity and it never got better. I got the implants placed below the muscle and my surgeon did mention I could do either because I had a good amount of breast tissue. I do not like how they look, my breasts don't look round and I think my implants are too high. I also think my right nipple points outwards. Can I fix this with a revision? Do I need to exchange implants? Thanks!
