I had my Textured implants replaced and lifted on 6/24/2021 with round 385 cc smooth silicone. The first few months they looked great . Around six months they were still sore and started to change . Eight months post op I’m now seeing capsular contracture in my left breast and heavy bottom weight in right. My right bothers me. I have an upcoming appt with my surgeon. From pictures he says I have CC on the higher up left implant. What do you see happening ? My right ? My left ? I feel deformed.

Answer: You got both types of scar issues One side is contracted, the other has expanded too much. You'll need capsular tightening with mesh on the dropout side, and a total capsulectomy with mesh support on the contracted side. All surgery should be performed via an inframammary incision to avoid breast tissue in the wounds. Once that has been completed, you could get scar revision in the same surgery.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is explantation with lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
