I saw a surgeon wanting implants. He told me I needed a lif and gave me a small implant 265. I wasn’t happy with the size and 18 months later returned for a larger implant (495cc). I have been left with misshapen boobs that are square and flat shaped at the top (like a body builder) and an empty boob underneath which I’ve come to learn is snoopy boob. Am I entitled to a full refund. I don’t feel confident going under the knife with the same surgeon.
Answer: A breast lift recommended Hello, thank you for your question. We know by experience what an implant will do to the breast size and that is it enlarges the breast size. It can fill in the area of volume loss and lift it a bit but the remainder of the breast tissue on the bottom will not get lifted. Im not sure if I can say whether or not you were given the right advice and a lift was recommended but you chose not to do it. It seems as though you are unhappy where your natural breast tissue is sitting, lower than the implant. Speak to you plastic surgeon about this concern. See your options. Dont forget that the implants will drop a bit post operatively typically takes about 4 months.

Answer: Snoopy deformity I'm sorry to hear of the issues with your augmentation. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. It is doubtful a refund will be given, but your surgeon may work with you if you want to proceed with a revision. From the provided photo surgical correction is recommended for improvement.

Answer: Hello This happens when the place of placement of the implant is decided incorrectly, in your case the implant should have been placed under the gland, and they put it under the muscle, so your glandular tissue has descended but not the implant, that's why it looks like two balls.

Answer: Good question… Sorry to learn of your disappointment. An examination in person would clearly be necessary to properly evaluate you and make specific treatment recommendations. That said, you can almost always be confident that your situation can be improved with revision surgery. Your problem is that your implants are high relative to your breast gland, and this is due to encapsulation resulting in a mismatch. This is also known as a waterfall deformity. The correction may involve a mastopexy (breast lift), but not necessarily.
