12 year old breast implant revision - Will I need muscle and pocket repair? (Photos)

Question

I am 38 year old, one kid 8 yes yrs old. I have breast implants 12 years ago 325 cc under muscle and I am considering to do breast revision. I have doctor consultation he recommends relocate implants and breast fold incision “higher” approximately 1 cm. The new implants would be Motiva either round or Ergonomix demi 360-380cc changing plane to dual plane split muscle. He also mentioned to repair muscle and fix pocket. It It sounds more complicated than I thought. Do u have any recommendations

Dear Dynamic870550,

breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.
Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.
While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.
If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.
