I was a D to begin with. No kids. Just sagging and deterioration from weight loss. Got a breast lift, reduction and 371 silicone implants. 3 years later, they have bottomed out a bit. My nipples face upward and show through every bra. I have itchy scarring around the nipple and underneath. I have no cleavage on top. Would a lift help with bringing the nipples down or would it bottom out again? I originally wanted a perky C not a D. Would smaller implants and another lift solve the above problems?
Answer: Will just a lift help? Re lifting with or without an ACDM placement (quite costly). Best to obtain a few in person opinions.///

CONTACT NOW Answer: Complications after Wise pattern Since you began at size D, you do not need implants. Unfortunately, part of your breast tissue was resected and you had large (371 cc) implants placed. The Wise pattern was performed, which does not provide significant mechanical support to the implant or to the breast and the breast bottomed out. I recommend a new technique called Implant Exchange with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. This technique will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Smaller implants placed higher will give you the perky C you desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Will just a lift help? The lift will need revision with possible dermal matrix support to produce a more durable result.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the results you would expect. Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts and breast augmentation revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: A revision can help Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers! In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes that are reasonable for their body type and measurements. Revision surgery can be recommended after an examination of you tissues and review of your implant records.
