Can you advise on under muscle revision with new pocket? (Photos)

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.

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

Dear Kirsty1985,
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
