I am post opp 10months from a breast lift/reduction and implants 310R/325L. I am unhappy with my results as I feel like my breast are to large and heavy for my frame. I have always had fuller bust and was hoping to restore volume and lift sagging; however by breast are larger and sit lower on the chest than anticipated. I would like to have a revision to reduce my DD(some bras DDD) to a C cup. I am unsure if I should just explant my implants and fat graft or reduce implant cc.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear peace_rosas, 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.

Answer: Implant removal and scar revision At this time, I recommend removing the implants as they are too large and your breasts are wider than your chest wall. You will also need the scars revised. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
