I had a BA in summer of 2024. I noticed immediately after surgery my left breast looked weird. He said don’t worry about it it was normal. Now almost a year later my confidence has went down. I look AWFUL. I’ve had consultations with other surgeons who say I need a lift with new implants and galaflex mesh. I definitely want new and bigger implants! I want closer cleavage, more upper fullness and smaller areolas. I want this left breast corrected of course and same with the right which I’ve been told is “bottoming out” and hanging too low! Pleasea help and tell me if this is true and what exactly I would need done?! Thank you!!
Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not provided before photographs. However, it is possible that your breasts were low on the chest wall and as a result the implants had to be centered low on the chest wall underneath the nipple-areola complex. This resulted in your breasts bottoming out. Larger implants and GalaFlex will not solve your problem. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. 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. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. The areolas can be reduced to the size you desire. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Revision This would require a complex breast revisionary surgery including a new pocket formation, new implants, Galaflex and a lift. I would recommend seeing an expert in revisionary aesthetic plastic surgery.

Answer: Capsular contracture Thanks for your question! The left side has a severe capsular contracture that needs to be fixed. You could possibly replace both implants at that time to get more cleavage. However, the right breast doesn't look bottomed out to me. I would suggest an in person consultation. Find someone you like and trust! Good luck!

Answer: Breasts One implant is sitting too high and one is bottoming out from the weight. Do not go larger, or you may bottom out sooner. I would suggest going down in size, tighten the lower pocket on the sagging side and release the inferior and lateral pocket on the higher side. You may or may not need a lift.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 30 years, and breast revision surgery is a large portion of my practice. In your case, most likely you had a hematoma on your left breast and that is why you noticed it immediately. In those cases, it is extremely important to explore and remove any blood in the pocket otherwise you will be left with a severe capsular contracture. I believe that is what happened in your case. You should be able to have an excellent result with capsulotomies, an internal bra on the right side, and you will definitely need a breast lift. You should be able to have beautiful breast. Best wishes to you.
