Been a year since my over the muscle BA. I was told I didn’t need a lift but that is obviously very untrue. I feel like the PS recommendation for overs was not correct. They have a weird shape and just hang. I hate the dips in my cleavage and upper pole. My chest is flat and long. What am I looking at to make them look nice? I need to save up and feel completely lost. I think the implants are too small given the about of empty feeling skin. See before, 1 yr after and goal pics.
Answer: Upper pole fullness Thank you for your inquiry. I do think a breast lift would give you more of what you are looking for. When the nipples tend to point downward instead of straight ahead, that is when we recommend a breast lift. Adding implants to sagging breasts will just give you a bigger version of what you started with. A mastopexy will remove the loose skin, bring your nipples up to the center, and give you more upper pole fullness. If you decided on a breast lift, you don't need to change your implants unless you wanted to change the size. I think the current size is good and you would have the results you are looking for with a breast lift.

Answer: Lift, implant exchange? You definitevly need a lift. Considering that you have enough soft tissue coverage, there is no need to place the implants underneath the muscle, although it is a possiblity. Cleavage and upper pole fulness will be improved with lift and impant lift in a more proximal position but it can be further improved with fat grafting; I would not suggest doing that before lift result have settled (at least one year after lift). Hope this may help. Good luck.

Answer: Everything you said is true What to do: completely remove the implants and their capsules (relatively easy being over the muscle). Create a subpectoral pocket for new implants. Mesh should be used to preserve the new pocket and obliterate old pocket. Perform a breast lift. Go to a breast expert.

Answer: 1 year post breast augmentation, what can I do to achieve my desired look and address Cleavage and upper pole? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I agree a lift was required originally and I would recommend replacing your implants into a sub muscular position and a full lift. Depending on your tissues quality evaluated during an in-person examination you may also benefit from mesh placement. Hope this helps.
