Excessive scarring & weird shape after lift in 2020 & 600cc implants in 2022 (Photos)

Caring471867Dec 27, 2023
Hello. I got a breast lift on December 2020 in SoCal. June 2022 I decided to get implants. After the implants my scars from my previous lift widened. I have 600 cc moderate profile saline implants as my surgeon suggested. My right breast has taken a square shape especially. The scarring is a lot worse on my right breast than on my left. It appears that my right breast implants are shifting out and downwards. I'm very self conscious now. I'd like to get some insight on this issue. Thanks.

You have bottom out from the weight of the implant. I suggest that you go smaller and use mesh for the repair.

A mammogram and ultrasound are about 90% accurate in detecting a leak. If the radiologist wants an MRI, it then can be ordered. It will be about 95% accurate. Only God is 100% accurate. With surgery, of course, the implant can be examined to see if it is ruptured.

I do agree with going smaller since these are a bit large. Your lateral pocket can be tightened internally so that the pocket is smaller and the implants do not fall so much to the sides. A lift should be able to be done at the same.
