Question

1st surgery he did was smaller implant & I was so bottom heavy/nip point up. (Was sp to be 700 and remove more tissue) but woke up 350. Said not BO. Did revision rem. skin from fold& did a comped implant exchange to 750 UHP. But I'm still bot. heavy&nipples point up. He's rem more skin but won't chng my implant 2 smaller bc I've already rec a comp implant& pocket will need to change. He doesn't do glaflex. He's just removing more skin/tissue to revise

You have too much skin in the lower portion of the breast which needs to be removed with an incision in the breast fold. I agree that going with a smaller implant is also a good idea

You have very large implants which have bottomed out.  I'd recommend downsizing and redoing the mastopexy with Galaflex or Durasorb.

You will need to be seen by a competent surgeon. Removing skin and not re-structuring the pocket ('internal bra'), will not fix a drop out.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Your implants are too large and heavy for your tissue and will continue to bottom out even with a revision. You need to go smaller and have the pockets tightened, possibly with mesh for support, and remove the excess skin.
