Did I hit rock bottom again after revision? (Photo)

Question

Hi, i had surgery on 06/22 with arion 300 cc uhp prostheses with a dual plane incision under the nipple. i had revision surgery 5 months after the surgery because the implants hit rock bottom, my surgeon performed the revision surgery completely free of charge. I am now 17 months after the operation and I am worried that my left breast has hit rock bottom again, i'm afraid to have the third surgery. i need your ideas..

It appears you didn't have much of a correction, at least by 11 months post revision surgery. Or was it better prior to the 11 month post photo? Regardless, you need to have it done again with a surgeon who can give you lasting results using suture based capsulorrhaphy combined with resorbable mesh, aka internal bra.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

The main problem is that your implants are too large and heavy for your frame and tissue to support. You should go down in size and use mesh for support.  If you keep the same size or go larger, they will bottom out again.
