Before and after pic was 2014, The other pic showing my nips is what they look like in 2018 they look low 500cc saline implants under the muscle. I picture before and after photo shows what they did look like. The other one in my bathroom is of what they look like after five years and I don’t like how they dropped into the position. They look lower and of to the side more then together.
Answer: Implants low four years after augmentation A number of things can affect how your breasts change over time after augmentation. If you become pregnant, or experience significant weight changes, this can result in the breasts looking more dependant and less full. Large , heavy implants may cause the tissues to stretch over time, resulting in a droopy looking breast. Options to address this would be to have mastopexy , or lift, or consider larger implants. Consult your surgeon to determine which option is best for you.

Answer: Why do my breast implants go off to the side like this? I am sorry to hear about/see the problems you are having after breast augmentation surgery. I think your concerns are appropriate; your breast implants do seem to sit quite low on your chest wall, consistent with breast implant displacement ("bottoming out”).

Answer: Breasts too wide apart Dear cami17,I get this problem all of the time. Typically, its from women who went with high profile implants. This is a problem because while they project more, they are narrow at the base and can have widening effect on cleavage. The second most common problem is incomplete release of the pectoralis muscle medially. Many surgeons don't take the time to make this right. If you're not happy with your results I would suggest you to discuss it with your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Why do my implants go off to the side like this? Are they supposed to sit this low? Thank you for your question. My first impression looking at the last photo is the possibly your breast and balance were placed on top of the muscle not under the muscle as you state. This degree of sagging following breast augmentation is quite unusual. I would suggest to see in experienced board certified plastic surgeon for an examination. It may be possible to do a breast implant pocket revision or possibly breast lift with insertion of smaller breast implants underneath the chest muscle.

Answer: Revision breast augmentation The problems you are having are common with smooth large saline implants. The implants have dropped down and laterally. I frequently perform these revision surgeries where we will remove the saline implants, tighten the pockets, possibly place some reinforcing mesh, and then use more cohesive gummy bear type implants to achieve an improved result. Good luck.
