Implant deformity - can this be fixed without surgery or is a revision necessary? (Photo)

To definitely answer this question would require an examination of your breasts. but your photos suggest that surgery may be necessary to improve your condition,.

This may be related to scarring in the area below the areola/nipple. You will likely need a revisionary surgery to truly address the issues that are going on in the photo you posted. This is my professional opinion. Best of luck!

Hello !

You will need a revision breast surgery. Repairing breast augmentation deformities such as animation deformity requires correct replacement and covering of the implant during the surgery.

Best of luck,

Dear Michyyy13,
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.

Surgery will be needed to revise the scar that is pulling. I would suggest doing that first. Later, fat grafting can be done if more volume is needed.

Yes, you will likely need a breast revision surgery. I would highly recommend visiting in-person with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a better idea of exactly what the deformity is and how to correct it. This way you can plan better for costs, time off, recovery, etc. Good luck!

An in person evaluation is best, but from your photos it appears you will need surgical intervention to correct your concern. It appears you may benefit from a lift as the nipple position is low on the chest wall. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

A board-certified plastic surgeon is qualified to address your issues. Board-certified plastic surgeons have spent years of training and have the top level of experience and skill. Seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon for your cosmetic needs.

Your photos came out sideways but in the one on the left, a breast lift would clearly be needed. The implant pocket could be evaluated at the same time.
