I am bottoming out due to my breast aug from July. I do not think my dr is very experienced in revision surgeries and has not been able to help me much with my questions. I want to have a revision surgery as I am very unhappy with the results :( I understand sutures tend to have to be redone, and I would really want to avoid that. I was wondering if getting mesh instead would be more reliable and less likely need to be redone? Thanks

Answer: Breast implant revision If you are experiencing bottoming out this soon after surgery then I would suspect that you will need some sort of internal support such as a biological a cellular dermal matrix product or a mesh such as Seri. Each of these has different properties and are used for specific indications. I would discuss this with the board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who may be familiar with breast reconstruction and revisionary breast augmentation procedures. Don't worry, you can have a long-lasting improved result.Good luck!

Answer: Breast Implant revision with mesh or other materials Thanks for your question about breast implant surgery.It is difficult to give much guidance without photos, but if you are bottoming out you will most likely be happiest with correction to the area. The manner of repair depends on what your surgeon may discover on your exam and during surgery. In many cases of bottoming out after breast augmentation surgery it is possible to reconstruct and firm up the inframammary fold with suture techniques and I perform this on all of my primary breast augmentations to minimize the chances for breast implants bottoming out. In cases of significant soft tissue looseness it may be necessary to use a biomaterial or mesh. I have used Galaflex, SERI, and Alloderm and Stratus to correct these issues. Each of these materials or (meshes) has different properties which can be used for different reasons. Make sure to discuss your concern with your surgeon.Best Wishes
