I am a 44 year old female 2000 when I was about 19yrs old, I had a breast reduction/lift which I so regret as I’m now older and wiser. I do understand large breasts can cause backache, but mine was more due to being insecure. Anyhow, in 2015 I decided to get breast implants because at that point, I wasn’t sure what happened to my breasts along with scar revision. The scar revision went great, however, the implants (400cc’s) were just 2 balls that migrated towards my armpits, and all I could see bending down was real fat tissue or maybe excess skin as I later found this out this past November 2024 when I went for a revision. I was told that I didn’t just need implants in 2015, I also needed another breast lift. I workout, but obviously wasn’t for at least 2 months after my surgery. Well needless to say….my right implant has migrated towards my armpit AGAIN. After the surgeon did my surgery this past Nov, he said that the Dr. who performed my breast Aug in 2015, made the pockets too large for the implants which was the cause of them rolling wayyy far behind my armpits, he said they were behind by back??? He did an implant exchange (405cc’s in each breast) and a lift. The day after the surgery, I loved my right breast, it was nice and full and the cleavage area looked great, however the left one which was swollen like a balloon required more in depth sutures, so that breast took a lot more trauma to the site. This will be the THIRD revision, is my breast tissue too thin? HELP!

You do need to go down in height and possibly some in size with your implants. Also, your sagging breast tissue needs to be lifted. Your side view shows this the best.
In your before photograph, your breasts were asymmetrical in volume and position. Asymmetry is one of the hardest things to correct surgically. At this time, you have the double bubble look and this results from one fold being the new inframammary fold and the other being the original...
This would require a complex breast revisionary surgery including pocket work, Galaflex, new implants and a lift. You likely needed a breast lift at the time of the original implant placement based on the apparent nipple to-fold-distances. When the skin is stretched over time (gravity/breast...
