Question

I breastfed three kiddos, lost volume and perkiness. Went for 300 cc teardrop. Im quite tall. Doctor said I didn't need a lift. Its been 8 months and implants look way high and made my breast look droopy. What in the world, doctor said implants would give me a lift.

Dear louislane,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for submitting your questions and photos!  I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results.  Without knowing more information and performing an in-person exam, it's difficult to determine with certainty what would be good options to improve your look moving forward.  A larger implant, possibly a round shaped one, that sits lower within the breast pocket, would help provide a lift without needing a typical breast lift procedure.  Your implants may be a little small and sitting a little too high on the chest.  A plastic surgeon will be able to perform an exam, review your records, and recommend a treatment plan that will help you achieve your desired look.  Wishing you all the best and thanks again for reaching out.

Hello dear,
In some cases implants do give some lift to the breasts and make them look higher. But in some cases, once the implants drop, that lifted look can disappear in time.
Seems like you can benefit from a breast lift without changing your implants. With the help of the lift procedure, 300 cc implants will do its magic even more beautifully and get you the look you desired before having surgery.

Thanks for posting on Real Self. I see slightly high riding side. Only revision surgery can lower the "high riders" bilateral. Fee $4,000. Best to virtual consult with....
