Any ideas what to do other than fat transfer? Indention (scar tissue) due to implants not falling properly and having capsular contracture. Implants for 2 years, then removal and now deformed. Help.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear decor, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: You can be helped... Thank you for your question and photos. In order to determine how to best help you it would be necessary to evaluate you in person, but I am fairly certain you can derive a significant improvement with revision surgery. Your indented scars may be relayed to a mismatch between your implant volume and your breast skin envelope. An experienced board certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs implant based breast reconstruction should be able to advise you on all of your options.
