I had a breast reduction and lift many years ago , and several years later I decided to do silicone implants due to weight loss. I had a baby after that, but I feel like my breasts really changed. In fact my nipple are really embarrassing, they are different in placement. One is much higher and shows through every shirt or bra I wear !
Answer: Breast revision The distance from the areola to the inframmamary crease in too long causing the breasts to bottom out. Skin needs to be tightened in a the inframammary area which is pretty simple. Lowering a nipple that is too high is very difficult

Answer: Revision Breast Lift Procedure Thank you for your question. It may be necessary for you to undergo a revision breast lift procedure. Your surgeon may recommend changing the type or size of implants or even replacing them to address changes in breast shape and volume. Additionally, nipple repositioning may be advised if there is a noticeable and undesirable asymmetry in nipple placement. It's important to schedule a consultation with a board-certified surgeon experienced in breast reconstruction and surgery. During the consultation, be sure to discuss any previous breast reduction, lift, or implant procedures, as well as any changes you've noticed since then, especially after pregnancy. Your surgeon will thoroughly examine your breasts and evaluate the condition of your existing implants, breast symmetry, nipple position, and skin elasticity.

Answer: Breasts Your tissue has been stretched out and is not supporting the weight of your breasts and implants. The lift can be done. Once the lower breast is lifted, you will probably see that your nipples are in the correct place. for best long-term results, I would suggest removing the implants and going smaller so less weight is on your tissue.

Answer: Removal of implants and revision Your breasts have bottomed out, your nipples are pointing upward and the implants have descended inferiorly and laterally. Most likely you will need a revision. At that time, I recommend removing the implants and the inframammary scars need revision to take in the excess loose skin. Also, at the same time, you may want fat transfers in the upper portion of the breasts to create upper fullness without the use of implants. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
