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: Replacing saline filled implants for asymmetry issues and possible capsular contracture You do have significant differences in symmetry between the right and lift breasts. With the shape differences I would want to know if you have a capsular contracture on the right side causing the elevation of the right inframammary crease. There are many options for you to consider but a good choice may be to place the a textured shaped anatomic implant in a new pocket (called a neopocket) and adjust the implants so that the crease is at the same level on each side. The texturing as well as a new pocket for the implant will help to hold it in place. There are other options available but this is just a suggestion.

Answer: Raising or lowering breast crease Changing the position of the breast crease is often necessary in order to provide a natural looking result from breast augmentation. We all have seen even small breast implants look unnatural because they ride to high on the chest wall with too much breast tissue above the nipple and too little breast tissue below the nipple. If the inframammry fold is altered there are steps necessary to prevent the implant from bottoming out. It is important ant you select a plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in this area. Start by looking at a lot of before and after photos. and then do a lot of homework on your plastic surgeon before selecting someone to make a permanent change to your body.
