Is a Pocket Thats Made to Big Hard to Fix?

I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have after breast augmentation surgery. It sounds, based on your description, that you are experiencing a breast implant displacement (to the side).

 The implant displacement can be corrected using an internal suture technique (capsulorrhaphy). This type of procedure is routinely performed by plastic surgeons who perform a significant number of  revisionary breast procedures. In my practice, I use a 2 layered permanent suture repair and find that the success rate of this type of procedure is quite high,  although a recurrence of the implant displacement is a risk of the procedure.

 After this type of procedure, I ask my patients to avoid strenuous/heavy lifting for several months.

I hope this helps.

Hello,
Thank you for the question. Yes, a pocket that is too big can be repaired. This is called a capsulloraphy. Essentially sutures are used to repairs the area of the pocket that is too big. I recomend undergoing this by an experienced plastic surgeon as if not performed properly can lead to poor shape or recurrence.
All the best,

This this can be fixed. I have done this two different ways:  1) making a new pocket above your old one and 2) stitching shut the outer part of your existing pocket.  The latter is certainly most common and often easier.  Fortunately the pain and recovery is nothing like you had with your augmentation.
