Breast lift/aug almost 3 months ago with 475 Demi/500 cc full silicone implants under the muscle. How can I fix this? (Photo)

Question

I am a large framed woman 5.10 and really don't like the way my breasts look, the seem small and when I lie down they fall side ways and I have a very big gap, can you please advise me on what I can do to get this fixed and why it's like this? Thank you

Miguel Mota, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for posting. It is hard to evaluate with these photos but it seems like you need a revision, especially on your left side. Falling side ways is natural and can happen after a lift but if you feel it is too much, then a breast lift with pocket revision is a good idea. Your implant pockets might be too wide, this may be why your implants slip and fall sideways.

My recommendation is a breast lift revision for symmetry and extra lift; so there is less displacement of the breast tissue. Plus pocket revision to make the pockets smaller and tighter, so they are more snug on the implants. This helps them from sliding sideways.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision. Although your pictures are somewhat limited, it appears that you would need a significant pocket modification which would include an internal bra, otherwise known as capsulorrhaphy as well as a lift-mastopexy. Make sure that you seek out experienced plastic surgeon in breast revision. Best wishes to you.

Dear lovelyviva,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to see what you are concerned about from the photos.  From the photo on the right it appears you may have a animation deformity due to the placement under the muscle.   From the left photo it appears that the left breast is lower than the right breast and may need more of a lift. Again it is difficult to assess from the photos provided.  It is important to discuss this issue with the original plastic surgeon.
