Hello I had my BA 5 months ago (borderline lift. 385 hp, round textured DP) and i now have the waterfall affect. My original surgeon has offered to do a lift at a discounted rate. I saw another surgeon and he has said he can change the implant into a smaller anatomical and place it subfacially. He said that will give me a rounder breast. I am concerned as he said there is a big risk of rippling as my skin is thin. I have not breastfed yet and am worried about having a lift and doing that. Thanks

Answer: Breast lift needed or not A breast lift would fix the issue, but I do not blame you if you want to avoid the lift at this time. I would discuss all the options with your surgeon. I would probably try to lower your implants and enlarge the pocket in your lower breast by releasing the muscle from the breast tissue as in the duel plane if these are under the muscle, or just lower the implant if it is subglandular. You may likely need a lift at some point in the future. Good luck.

Answer: 5 months post op BA, I have waterfall affect. I have two options to fix it but not which one to pick. Any suggestion? Thank you for your questions and photos. It appears to me that the implants are sitting too high, and you could benefit from a capsulotomy or capsulectomy and lowering the implants to sit directly behind your breasts. I don't think the implant exchange to an anatomical implant will make much difference, and going with a smaller implant may help, but you may end up with a wider gap between your breasts. I would need to examine you to be sure, but I think lowering the implants would solve your problem. Good luck!
