I had very tuberous breast. I got a donut lift with 265cc implants under the muscle with mesh. The results looked okay at first but over time the implants shifted far apart from each other and now there is a crease on my right breast. When I lay down, my implants fall off to the sides near my armpits. I'm only one year post op and I already need a revision. What could have caused this and what do you think could be done to prevent it from happening again?
Answer: Tuberous breast correction tuberous breast correction is a difficult surgery. Based on your before photos and severity of your tuberous breast deformity it appears that your surgeon lowered your native IMF to allow for added space for the implants. When this is done, typically the old fold is released internally. However, the native IMF is a often very robust and can persist after surgery which appears to have happened in your case. Additional internal radial scoring may be needed to attempt to further release this area.

Answer: Tuberous breasts tuberous breasts can be very challenging and usually need more than one procedure to correct. Your lateral pockets can be tightened so that the implants do not shift too far to the sides. For the breast with the crease, your more narrow-based breast, more tissue medially needs to be released. Using a tissue expander initially would have been helpful to widen this breast base.
