I had breast augmentation with lift 10/14/22. I am six months out post op and implants are still riding high. Not what I was going for. Not happy with the appearance. Is it able to be corrected?
Answer: Implants Your implants are sitting high and your own implants are sitting a little low. Your implants may be too large for your frame. You can try oral Accolate with external ultrasound treatments to see if the inferior and lateral pockets can be softened and let the implants settle down, or surgery can adjust them. Go back to your surgeon.

Answer: High implants Dear Intelligent610475, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Implants I believe that the issue is that you truly needed a breast lift performed with a smaller implant. I would recommend seeing a highly trained aesthetic plastic surgeon with good training in breast revision surgery.

Answer: Redo breasts augmentation with mini lift Dear Marylander, Thanks for posting your pictures and sorry for the less than optimal outcome. From observing your pictures you appear to have bilateral significant capsule contracture, large areola and droopy nipples. To correct your condition you will need bilateral capsulotomy (scar release) to allow the implants to settle lower and mini lift procedure (donut) to reduce the size of the areolas and elevate the nipples to a more attractive position. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after photos of redo breasts augmentation and mini lift surgery in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with natural look. Best of luck, Dr Widder widderplasticsurgery.com

Answer: Corrective surgery It appears that your implants are sitting high, but your breast was not lifted high enough to grant you the result you seek. You would need a revision lift
