Revising pocket - what are my options? (Photo)

December 26, 2023
Asked By:mainemom in Monson, Maine

I am 57 and had augmentation 12 years ago.(450/492 cc) I will be replacing them with smaller (go from DD to full C). My breasts were wide set, even before my surgery, and they are worse now. I believe I have waterfall deformity now (and maybe capsular contracture.....can you tell from pics)? Can a Dr reduce the pocket from only the outside, to get more cleavage and less side boob? I will also have a lift, if that changes anything.
