Breast revision. Do I have lateral displacement or fold malposition? Is my implant in the correct pocket? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast uplift and reduction with implant had asked to be a DD ended up a F My original surgeon did agree to scar revision for a infection I had and extending my bottom scar to get rid of access skin, but I feel like there's bigger issue so not sure to go to someone else for revision, he doesn't see any other issue, but to me they collapse to much to my armpit when laying down? To much space in the middle of chest, to much much bottom boob and no upper pole? Bulging on the bottom?

Dear Awesome7467,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

Your implants are somewhat large for your frame and tissue and do move a fair amount to the sides. I would suggest going smaller and tightening your lateral and inferior pockets. You might need mesh for more internal support.

I hope you are well!! If you wanted to have a more pronounced clevage, then your surgeon should have put the implant behind the muscle to get that nice and round upper pole, ´cause it appears to me that it is retro glandular. A big implant is a little heavier so it will fall like that, the other issue is that maybe the pocket is a little too big for the implant towards the armpit and the bottom and that is why it collapses and you don´t have an actual upper pole. I think you should get a revision to put the implant behind the muscle or to close the pocket to push the implant up and centre, but it will drop faster in that plane.
