Is a lift revision alone what is recommended to fix my waterfall deformity without lowering the implants? (photo)

Hello, I had a full anchor lift with implants done back on 06/27/2024. I am now 7 months post op. Since about two weeks post op my breasts have always had the waterfall look falling off the implants with the implants sitting high. I thought that eventually the implant would drop into place but it hasnt changed much. I had a post op and my surgeon suggests skin tightening to redo the lift and bring up my nipple. Is redoing lift alone the suggested procedure? I feel like the implants sit high.

According to your pictures I can surely say that vertical scar (lollipop) breast lift and implants will be perfect solution for you. Your sagging is not severe, so the anchor lifts won’t be necessary for your case.

What would you define as “full?” Fullness is not just about the size of the breast; it is about the shape as well. Generally speaking, “fullness” relates to volume in the upper and lower pole (above and below the nipples.) Since your nipples are located below your breast fold, a lift would b...

I recommend to avoid lifting anything heavy, including your toddler, for at least 6 weeks following breast augmentation surgery. This precaution helps protect your chest muscles and ensures that your implants heal properly in place.
