Total capsulectomy with implant exchange. 300cc silicone implants over the muscle replaced with 450cc implants in same pocket Implants replaced after 18 years. There was no revision to the pocket. He decided against a breast life during surgery saying that I didn’t need one.. I am not happy with the results. I want a revision under the muscle with a brand new pocket.
Answer: Implants Your implants are too large for your frame and are sagging from the weight. i would suggest going smaller and placing them behind the muscle to give better upper breast fullness. the lower pocket can also be tightened.

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revisionary breast surgery. In your case, you have the classic signs of "slide down" associated with implants placed on top of the muscle. I actually wrote the only paper written describing repositioning of the implant from a subglandular position to a submuscular position. This is almost always associated with a breast lift. You are an excellent candidate for this. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Breast implants I agree you do not need a lift. Your implants have bottomed out a little and it could be revised. I'm just not sure that it would be worth it from a cost perspective. Only you can decide if the cost is worth ut

Answer: Breast revision Not sure about the question. But your breast implants are slightly bottomed out with the lower pole of the skin envelope being stretched over time. They do not look perfect, but they are symmetric and you do not have mastopexy scars. You can certainly change the position of the implant and elevate the implant on the chest wall and place them under the muscle. You would need a mastopexy at that point to allow the skin to drape around the implant properly.
