Considering 2nd breast augmentation? Would I benefit from 450cc, saline implants without bottoming out? (Photos)

Question

Hi there, I am 22 but I got my 320cc saline implants in December 2018 after I turned 18. I went from a 32B to 34DD but I’m going off of how I was sized when I first got them since I might be a full C or small D. I was happy with my results until this past year, I feel smaller. My surgery was done under the muscle with incisions on inframammary fold. I want more volume and noticeable creases on the insides of my breasts. Would I benefit from 450cc saline implants without bottoming out?

Dear thelittlepixie,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.

Please do not go larger or you will just thin your own tissue even more and sag. A DD is plenty large and is somewhat large for your frame and tissue.
