Should breast mesh have been used during mastopexy/2nd surgery?

March 12, 2022
Asked By:Lynleighann86 in Ford, Kentucky

36 yr old and have had two breast surgeries so far. The first was September 2020 and I had breast augmentation with a lift choosing 505cc silicone implants. Not long after surgery the left breast bottomed out, resulting in an additional surgery for left mastopexy revision and implant exchange to 695cc silicone implants on both sides as I was not satisfied with size. Within 6 months, left implant bottomed out again. Should mesh have been recommended for use during the second surgery?
