Above muscle to below muscle breast augmentation; does breast tissue compress w/above muscle implant leaving less volume?

Back in 2011 when you had a breast augmentation, you really needed a mastopexy as well and you still do. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, at this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Dear KMAMK,
I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle

I wonder how you decided on the implants that have been used for your breast enhancement. Did you have Vector computerized imaging before your first surgery? Did you try on implants in a tight bra? Did you see before and after photos of someone with a similar body to your self? What is your breast diameter relative to your waist and hips? photos of your current look would help with a possible recommendation. Good luck. Happy holidays...
