Question

Hi. I've had over the muscle 750cc HP for like 10 years (competed in bodybuilding/figure) and decided to go under the muscle 4smaller since I was having back issues. I bottomed out not even a year after my surgery. My surgeon convinced me that he could fix it with redoing the pockets and doing a durasorb internal bra. I trusted him and the same thing happened in less than 1 year I'm bottoming out.

Dear Kind304965,
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.

Thank you for your question.  I have been in practice for almost 30 years and revision breast surgery has been a large portion of my practice.  In fact, I wrote the very first paper on internal bra-capsulorrhaphy.  I find that most breast revision surgeons do not do this correctly and oftentimes rely on meshes to support in an adequately performed capsulorrhaphy.  You should be able have an excellent result with a properly performed capsulorrhaphy and revision of your mastopexy. Best wishes to you.

You are bottoming out because your original implants overly stretched and thinned your tissue.  You need to go with something even smaller, or you will bottom out again. Your tissue will no longer support heavy implants.
