I'm 31 5"4 140lbs. My breasts have dropped very low towards my abdomen and when I lay down they fall over under my arms which pull and cause pain in my upper breast and nipples. I have expressed my concerns to my ps and he only suggested moving my nipples to make them even but my breast will still look the same. When use arms it kind of looks like I have 4 boobs due to implant slipped down out of under muscle which my ps said was normal. Can this be corrected without detaching and moving my nipples?

Answer: Implants falling down and out can be fixed Saline implants are frequently smooth and do not adhere well to tissue. The chest is curved and so a smooth implant moves with gravity out and down. By tightening the pocket and changing the implant to textured gel implants will remedy your concern. Many women in my practice travel to see us because we specialize in revision implant work. Seek a BCPS that specializes in breast surgery as we do.

Answer: Implant movement Thank you for your pictures. I think your presentation for almost an actual form and shape of your breast prior to surgery. As far as your breast falling toward your armpits, that's going to be what they do because they are fuller than your natural breasts so they will enhance on your armpits. In order not to have that volume you probably would need to have smaller implants and a lift.

Answer: Breast Implants lower and further apart The answer depends on what you want and what you will accept. Your nipple location is asymmetric (as it was preoperatively) and if you want to fix this you will need to move one of the nipples to match the other. If you don't want to fix this you will not need to move the nipples. The inframammary creases of your breasts have descended the same distance which has magnified your preoperative nipple asymmetry. Additionally, the lateral creases of your breasts have migrated laterally. Ideally you will need a crescent of tissue removed from the right inframammary crease, the right nipple lowered with another around the nipple incision and material such as ADM or Seri placed laterally in the breast cavity to push your implants more towards the center.
