Recommendations on corrections for lift and implant placement? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I had a breast “lift” and new implants in February of 2024. The doctor told me a donut lift would achieve my goals, however, they are horrible and I need a new surgery. Placement is on top of the muscle. Would like opinions on what would be the best correction and how long I need to wait to have the revision surgery? Thanks

Replace implants into a partial subpectoral position with mesh containment, full breast lift. This will achieve your goals for a pretty, lifted breast.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

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 injure during your previous surgery.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question.  I have a whole gallery titled "Long term changes of breast implants placed on top of the muscle".  I have been in practice almost 30 years and revision breast surgery is a large portion of my practice. I fixed many breast similar to yours. You would need to have your implants placed under the muscle and have a revision lift-mastopexy.  You should be able to have an excellent result.  Best wishes to you.

You can have revision now. Your implants need to be placed behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness and less sagging, and the lift may need to be a vertical lift for the best shape.

Based on your nicely post of photos, you would need to complete revision including new implants sub muscular with a full breast lift. Fee $15,000-$25,000. Best of virtual consult with.
