Possible EDS and breast implants falling

Question

I had my first BA 3 years ago. I had 485cc under the muscle. I had issues with one breast very early on. My implant fell into my armpit. I ended having a second BA about 18 months later. My second set of implants are 535cc. I had mesh added as well as having the capsule adhered to my ribs. Very shorty after surgery, by breast was back to my armpit. Over a year later, my other implant has fallen to my sternum. Is there any hope for future implants or should i give up and have them removed?

Dear Monster_Meeka,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, 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, small implants or fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Your main problem is you have implants that are too large and heavy for your tissue. You need to have the pockets tightened and go with something smaller, maybe 300-350 cc's. Otherwise, they may wind back up in the same place.
