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: 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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implant revision Unfortunately, post op changes can affect results. Some anatomy- such as wide space can be improved but not eliminated. Your left appears to have moved toward the armpit. Refining the capsule to move implant back towards middle should reduce the space inbetween. The bottoming out would best be corrected with mesh such as Galaflex or Strattice. Any other issues would be evaluated and discussed during consultation with your/a plastic surgeon, such as lift and/or implant modifications
