Implant replacement- neopocket vs internal bra vs do nothing? (Photo)

With saline, I would suggest keeping them behind the muscle and tightening your medial pockets. You might need mesh. Usually, the capsule is thin with saline and it is best to keep all the tissue, including the capsule, if possible.

Dear bobbiesng,
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.

For this issue, neo-subpectoral pocket is the best solution. Capsulorrhaphy with mesh (internal bra) is difficult to achieve due to poor tissue dynamics at the sternal border, and the forces of the implant are constantly trying to undo the repair. Conversely, the repair by a neo pocket is actually reinforced by the implant forces. As an aside, infection is not an issue with mesh.
