Answer: Revision surgery Dear katymarie2, 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: Can my inframammary fold be raised surgically? What is the best method to bring me to a perky B-C cup? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It is possible to surgically raise the IMF but it would be helpful to see before images as well as to know whether your original surgeon lowered yours to accomodate your implant size. I would seek out a series of ASPS surgeons in consultation for in-person evaluations of your tissues and goal results.
