I had breast implants revision 9 months ago. After having silcone implants for 20 years, I decided to go with saline. My surgeon suggested to put the implants under the muscle since the last ones I had were placed over the muschle. The problem is that since I had them done, they're no longer as big as the ones before (even though my surgeon says they're bigger) and they're not settling and their position is too high. I have done all the massaging and wore bands above the breasts but none has helped. Do I have to go back to this doctor and pay for him to fix this poor job? What else can I do?

Answer: Should be settled by 9 months The implants should be settles by 9 months. This photograph shows preoperative bruising, so is much earlier after the surgery. Your implants can definitely be lowered from this position without creating contour abnormalities. Bands typically do not help, massage does. If they are mobile and high, there is still hope that you can encourage them down.

Answer: High implants You raise some very important points. First to replace your implants from the subglandular (beneath the breast) to the submuscular (beneath the muscle) pocket will take time to shape and drop, and you may require a breast lift. Your pictures reveal that the implants are high but you have wait the full time to heal to see where they finally end up. I don't believe you are looking at your final result. If the implants do not fall further and one year has passed then a breast lift (mastopexy) may be required. It is okay to stage this because you would have tried with less surgery.
