In 2020, I had a breast augmentation with donut lift. They rapidly dropped and now I think I have bottomed out. There’s also a big gap in between. I also am thinking of going larger for implant size. My surgeon stopped responding and won’t help, so I’m looking for a new surgeon. What is the best way to close the gap in between the breasts and have them be more perky? Is Galaflex needed?
Answer: Implants Your implants may be too heavy for your tissue. I would suggest not going larger, but go even somewhat smaller and tighten your lower pockets.

Answer: When to use Galaflex internal bra for bottoming out It looks like you may have had a tubular breast prior to surgery, which is a short distance from nipple to bottom of the breast and a wide gap between. That results in a trade-off between implant diameter and risk of bottoming out due to lowering the fold. The implants should be moved up, with a capsulorrhaphy (internal sutures), and internal bra with Galaflex if the the tissues are thin over the lower pole of the breasts. You may have to settle for a wider gap between the breasts than you want though.

Answer: Revision At the time of your operation, your breasts were quite low on the chest wall. This required your surgeon to place the implant quite low in an attempt to lift the breasts with a donut lift, which was inadequate. At the time, the safest thing to do is remove the implants, plicate the pockets, wait 6 months and then do a repeat augmentation. I would not recommend larger implants.
