I had a breast lift and implants (325CC under the muscle) in November 2021. I'm going back for a revision as I have bad scarring and still have saggy boobs after a full anchor lift. I've recently come across the term Waterfall deformity and that is definitely my issue. If I change to over the muscle with another lift will that give me better results? It's worth mentioning my before breasts were a grade 3 ptosis so they have improved but not as I would of hoped.
Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method No, changing to over the muscle will not fix waterfall deformity. Water deformity develops because the implants are at one level and the breast tissue is at another. The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Implants Typically, keeping the implants behind the muscle gives good support to your implants. Your own tissue is sagging and may need an internal mesh bra for better support. Moving the implants in front will remove the waterfall effect, but you may sag more.

Answer: No need for over muscle implants to correct waterfall ptosis There is no benefit IMO to placing implants in front of the muscle to help correct waterfall deformity unless the implants are too high. Touch-ups are very common with the combination of implants and breast lift. Most likely all you need is to have the lift adjusted but hard to say without pictures and an in-person exam.

Answer: Breast surgery It sounds like the lift needs to be redone. It’s possible that your nipples were not raised adequately but I can’t be sure without photos
