I'm having my Saline implants switched to Silicone in a few weeks. Dr. noticed my left breast crease is higher than my right breast crease. He mentioned lowering my left breast crease. I rather him raise my right breast crease instead just because I really like the way my left higher breast looks. Anyway I just wanted to know if there are any risks or complications in raising or lowering a breast crease. Thanks
Answer: Moving the breast fold Moving the breast fold is possible, but there is great difference between moving it down vs. up. Moving it down agrees with gravity and the weight of the implant, and therefore, most often is succeeds. Moving it up is going against gravity and the weight of the implant, as for that reason, it is more likely to fail or not hold. This doesn't mean it can't be done - it just means we can not have the same level of expectation for success. Ultimately it comes down to (a) whether you care enough to move the fold, and if so, (b) whether you're willing to take the likelihood that it may not work as well as you and your surgeon hope it will. There are no wrong decisions here, you just have to take a calculated chance.

Answer: Uneven inframammary folds That is always the question..."which one do you like better". They both look good, it is just that they don't match. It is easier and more predictable to lower the higher one than to riase the lower one. So...if you don't feel strongly about raising and mostly just want better symmetry, I would suggest lowering the higher one. If you really want the lower one higher, then accept the extra work.cost/risk of recurrence and go for it!

Answer: Are there any risks in lowering or raising a breast crease? Or should I leave it alone? The additional costs for lifting crease needs to be explained. And lifting the crease is a much more difficult procedure...

Answer: Anatomy Sounds like you are very insightful, I really try not to mess with normal anatomy. My guess is your folds were originally different and even if they look perfect on the table the long term results are unpredicatable. GOOD LUCK!

Answer: Lowering your breast crease or inframammary fold can be risky In my experience raising a low breast crease is a much more successful procedure then lowering a breast crease or inframammary crease.The problem with lowering a breast crease or inframammary crease is that if the attachments of the crease to the rib are disrupted you risk bottoming out or double bubble.Please express your concerns to your plastic surgeon. Elevating the lower inframammary crease is a much more reliable procedure.For more information on revision breast implant surgery please read the following link:
