Will new breast implants fix the deformity caused by my old implants?

Question

My breasts became deformed after my original implants (placed 2015 removed 2020). I have had two fat transfers and my areola scars redone but nothing changed with the indentations. Would putting in small 150/200 saline implants fix this or just make my breasts larger without changing the weird shape? I was trying to avoid new implants as I never liked the feel of them but I'm reaching my wits and wallets end with this. Would the implants increase the loss of volume as well? Thanks in advance!

Dear easycoast,
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.

Adding implants, will increase the volume of your breasts, but will not correct the shape. Shape differences will require revision and redo of the mastopexies. Please consult with your surgeon to discuss your options.
