Over a year ago I had an over the muscle BA with 345 cc round implants. In hindsight probably the least favourable option for wide set boobs given the tendency to shift a lot. The separation is probably my anatomy but too wide for my liking. I saw a second surgeon who suggested sub pectoral implants with a larger implant achieve the same size as the over muscle implant AND moving the nipple as well- which I don't like. Any suggestions on implants /procedures to make the gap better?
Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. Unfortunately, what happened to you has happened to many women who are told that they can "fill up" the skin envelope and not have a breast lift. Ultimately, the weight the implant continues to drag on the skin envelope, especially if the implants are placed on top of the muscle, and the breasts continue to sag. In your case, you would benefit from a change from subglandular to subpectoral and breast lift. You are an excellent candidate for this. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Most likely what has happened is that pre-operatively before your augmentation your breasts were widely separated. The surgeon had to centered the implant underneath the nipple-areola complex and this is wide your implants are wide and to the side. At this time, 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, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Implants You can have your outer pockets tightened, so that the implants cannot move as far to the side. The actual base of your breast, however, cannot be moved.

Answer: Implant revision You would like your result better staying under the muscle, not moving the nipples (they don't need a lift), reparing the side pockets so the implants don't fall laterally so much, and using a wider diameter implant to get closer cleavage.
