Could I have expected better results from lift with implants? (Photo)

Question

I am so disappointed with my lift and implant results. I asked for in between natural and fake and got my moms boobs. They are long, not round, and already folding over my IMF in a droopy way my before boobs did. I also am seeing asymmetry nine months in The bottom of my implants are oblong and there is no roundness or perkiness. Just length and almost an inch difference in nipple placement. 9 months post op, 415cc HP sub fascial placement, galaflex with full anchor lift

Dear tuckedandnipped123,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

You got a very good result with a difficult operation. Slightly different nipple heights. I would not mess with it.

Matthew C. Camp, MD · Answer

You had pre-existing large breasts. You would have been better served with implants that are smaller, and focused more of tissue lifting and tightening. A long IMF to nipple distance is the result of the 415 cc implant. In order to correct your current saggy appearance, seek the care of a plastic surgeon who specializes in mastopexy, and discuss your options. You should have full confidence of an improved result.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The anchor lift technique is incapable of lifting the center mass of your breast.  The lift technique you needed was The Bellesoma Method.  Unfortunately, at this time, you have lost too much skin that you cannot have The Bellesoma Method done.  At this time, I recommend removing the implants, place fat transfers to the upper pole portion of the breasts and revise the inframammary fold of the breasts, advancing the tissue underneath.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

the nipples can be easily adjusted, and a little more skin and breast tissue can be removed to help tighten if needed.
