I had a lift and 320cc over the muscle implants put in 2 years ago. I’m not happy with how bulky and heavy they feel, and the level of lift is not as much as I’d like to see. For those reasons, as well as others, I’m exploring maybe explanting altogether. I’m worried that I’ll be left with similar level of sagginess without getting another lift. Because I’ve already had one, I don’t know if I need another one. Is a secondary lift recommended?
