I got 415cc implants 2 years ago. At the time, th surgeon said a lift wasn’t necessary. He also mentioned that I could always do a fat transfer after the surgery if I ended up unhappy with the space between my breasts? I should have done more research at the time. I am now wondering what my best option would be to fix the gap so that I have cleavage, and to fix the asymmetry/drop. Do I need to switch both implants out and do a lift? I’m 100lbs, so a fat transfer seems tough.
Answer: Breasts Your implants are too large and heavy for your tissue to support. You need to go down in size and have your pockets tightened. You may need an internal mesh bra for support. Unless cadaver fat is used, a fat graft may not be an option for you.

Answer: Making things better Your breasts don't need a lift, your implants do: scar capsule tightening plus a resorbable mesh will achieve long lasting results. This will vastly improve dropout and subtly improve gap. Softening of the transition between implant and chest wall will be difficult without fat though. However, once the implants are in good position, with more muscle covering them, you will likely be happy.

Answer: Correction of asymmetry and getting more cleavage after a breast implants with lift Thank-you for your query ! Based on your photographs and your weight, the best option would be to get smaller implants and do a breast lift as well. This will help in achieving better symmetry, and the pockets can be reshaped to give you better cleavage as well. Please discuss all your concerns with your Plastic surgeon before making a decision. All the best!

Answer: Breast implant lift and revision Thank you for your question regarding breast implant revision. It looks like the best way to get you more cleavage and fix asymmetry is to remove and replace the implants. Because your areolas point outward, it will be important to suture around the outer breast to keep the implants from shifting. This will also help obtain cleavage. You may need a mastopexy to address the “drop “ you were talking about. An incision would be made around your areola down the breast, and under the inframammary fold like an anchor. We can re-approximate where the nipple will go, which will help give you the breast lift you desire.

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. In your case, you are a straightforward fix with an internal bra procedure, otherwise known as capsulorrhaphy. I wrote the very first paper on this 20 years ago. You should be able to have an excellent result with an attractive cleavage zone. Best wishes to you.
