How to Fix Breast Augmentation "Waterfall" Effect?

March 7, 2010
Asked By:Almost Midlife in North Carolina

Had first surgery in July 2009. Revision last month. Doc says I have terrible skin quality and repositioned implants. Great placement and wonderful pole position. But even after 2 weeks, breast tissue feel off pec muscle, thus creating a "waterfall" effect. Doc says some South American docs are working with mesh to hold tissue on pec muscle but he didn't recommend for me. Any suggestions? You can see by the photo the implant remained high, tissue just fell off.
