Square shaped breast & nipple higher than the other, will I need a revision? (Photos)

H
helenexoMay 21, 2023

Hello, I am 11 months post op and I have noticed that on one of my breasts the implant is noticeably lower causing my nipple to appear higher than the other. The implant is also more square in appearance whilst the other is more natural looking. Is this a concern and will I need a revision?

The question of whether a lift will be necessary after explant or downsize depends on a number of factors: -Age of the patient- Younger skin has greater elasticity. -Degree of pre-operative sagging- If you are sagging before the downsize/explant...the ptosis will only worsen. -Age of implants-...

Thank you for your question. You can see any BC PS who can help you with this problem. You should do this sooner than later as most warranties stop providing any financial help after 10 years.

Thank you for your question. I tell all my patients it takes 4-5 months for all the settling to occur so I do believe things will still change. It does appear your PS did a nice job for you.
