I've currently got 600cc breast implants behind the breast tissue not under the muscle & i've recently discovered that my implants have ruptured and i have capsular contracture. (i've had theses implants for 11 years) I also need an uplift. So is it possible to have them replaced along with an uplift & have bigger implants put in? I really don't want to go smaller. Thank you to any doctor who answer's & best wishes.

Answer: Lift with smaller implants behind the muscle 600 cc implants are quite large and the largest available are 800 cc. If you have capsular contracture then you will most likely get capsular contracture again with new implants. 800 cc implants will not fit underneath the muscle. You will need smaller implants and most likely need a lift. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Tameka21, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.
