Hi! I want to exchange my implants to something that fits my figure. I also feel my current breast implants sit too low anatomically and would like the crease or pocket to be higher. There is also too much space between my nipple and my crease. What procedure is this called? I don’t think its an actual breast lift because they dont look like it has ptosis/sagging. Just the breasts sit low on my body making my abdomen look short. I would like chest to be higher.

Answer: Low sitting breasts You have nice result after augmentation, implants are grossly symmetric and nipples on the top of breast mount; you have low sitting breasts and that is best that can be achieved with augmentation. However, if you want both breast crease (IMF) and nipples in higher position, you will need a true lift with anchor like scar. Is it good alternative for what you have? In person consultation with your surgeon and/or second opinion consultation with another surgeon with known expertise in breast surgery, is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Implant Malposition You are correct in your assessment. The implant pockets have opened inferiorly allowing the implants to sit too low on your chest. A surgery to correct the pocket position is called a capsulorrhaphy, and it usually involves both sutures and a resorbable mesh to reinforce the repair.
