Recommended 365cc moderate Sientra with strattice & drains, is it worth the revision? (Photo)

Question

I hate my implants. I had 330 overfilled salines in 2019 and I absolutely loved them. They developed CC after 8 months and my new PS gave me 365 HP without telling me. The CC came back and my new new PS just recommended me 365 moderate sientra with strattice and drains. These implants are SO wide on me and none of my clothes fit me anymore. I'm a model and it's affecting my career so negatively the last few years. Is it worth a revision? I am devastated and so disappointed. I wish I had done 350 moderate plus.

Sorry to hear that you are having some issues but a 15 cc different will not make that much of a difference.  I recommend that you see multiple plastic surgeons to see what they recommend and go with the one that you feel more comfortable with.

Thank you for your question and posting an appropriate picture.  If you’re thinking about a revision you should consider going at least 50cc smaller than you are right now. Pocket revision will allow the implants not to be too far on the outside. It is best to of course discuss this after a virtual consultation.

Dear peachesncreamx,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.
