Dear missy1793,
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.

Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery. You definitely need an implant exchange, pocket modification with capsulorrhaphy-internal bra, capsulotomy, and donut mastopexy. You should be able to have an excellent outcome. Best wishes to you.

Yes, your surgeon is correct. One implant is sitting high and is pushing your nipple down. Once released, you may or may not need a lift. Your surgeon can decide that on the table.
