F, 25, 58KG, 1.50CM, ELASTIC LEATHER Hi, I had breast augmentation with lift and implants 3 months ago to correct my asymmetry. My implants are round shape 175-250cc above the muscle implants. I'm unhappy with the results because my breasts are so different, I can feel implants and they annoy me. I prefer to remove them immediately and to try to correct my asymmetry of 70-75cc with fat injection. Should I have a lift, too? Before and after augmentation photos:

Answer: A breast lift can be done to improve appearance Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Answer: Fat Once removed, you may need a lift since one breast naturally sits lower than the other. With fat, you can usually obtain about a half cup increase and sometimes up to one cup. Please discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Implant removal You can elect to remove your implants at any time, however it is important for you to make an informed decision before proceeding with more surgery. It is unlikely that you will have significant improvement in asymmetry by simply adding 75cc of fat to the smaller breast. You have volume and shape asymmetries as well as differences in your folds which will each contribute to your overall look. Be sure to discuss with your surgeon your goals for surgery as well as what you can realistically expect before making a final decision on how to proceed.

Answer: Explant with mini lift Removing 175-250 cc implants and placing with 70-75 cc of fat will provide inadequate volume. The technique I recommend is explantation and mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, the implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers can be performed for additional volume.
