Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix. Many years ago, I pioneered a technique specifically for patients like you termed "Reductive Augmentation. This involves an internal bra-capsulorrhaphy, revision of the mastopexy-lift, and excision of the lower pole breast tissue....

Although you've been unlucky twice, don't blame the inframammary incision, which is the safest incision precisely because you are less apt to get implant contamination. Unfortunately, I would place blame on your surgeon or the surgery center, something I'm loathe to do. E. coli is not skin...

Breast symmetry is rare. Your asymmetry is not remarkable considering where you began. You may consider doing 1 implant reduction. The larger breast going down about 100 cc's. This may allow the nipple-areola complex to match since right now they are at 2 different levels. Best...

You don't really appear any more bottomed out on the left than you do on the right. It just seems like the implant is too small. Strattice is an excellent, if not overly expensive, supporting material that can do what any other absorbable mesh can do. When I look at you, you started out before...
