37 y/o, 5ft 3in, 111lbs, do I need a revision or breast lift? (Photos)

Question

Jan 2005: 34c implants placed, no complications Jan 2018: left implant replacement due to deflation, no complications Jan 2022: Right breast revision due to sagging/loss of elasticity (implant was still intact). A dissolvable mesh was placed to strengthen skin. No lift was done. October 2023: right breast starting to sag again, left breast seems fuller / higher than right. Question: do I need a breast lift??? I’m 37 years old, 5ft3in 111 lbs

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your breasts are asymmetrical in position and shape.  You may benefit from a smaller implant in the larger breast or a larger implant in the smaller breast.  You may also benefit from a mini lift.  Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.

Best Wishes,

I do not believe you need a lift.  I would recommend repositioning the implant that is higher by revising the pocket.

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

you do not need a breast lift. you have capsular contracture and need a surgery to remove the implant and scar tissue and replace with a new implant and mesh.

All breasts are different right to left before and after any surgeries. This includes size, shape, projection, ribs, muscle, folds, upper poles, etc. They will never be exactly the same, especially without a bra.

Your breasts appear very similar, size, nipple position is good, not a lot of skin laxity to warrant a lift. Some right to left differences but a lift or revision would not improve them, in my opinion.

Regular  follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended going forward .

No, you don't need alift, but the pocket of your higher implant can be adjusted to let it settle down more.
