Failed Breast Lift and Augmentation x2 - should I move forward with an internal bra? (Photos)

Question

I have undergoing a breast augmentation 7 years ago. Recently under went New breast augmentation with lift. Breast lift and augmentation January 2024. It did not hold. Underwent revision July 2024 Double lined with semi permanent sutures. Did not hold. Claiming my skin and lack of subcutaneous fa t contributes to the issue. Advising another revision will not fix the problem. Advising an internal bra may help!Any suggestions thoughts. Currently mod boost 290 cc above muscles

In your before photographs, you can see that your breasts were quite low on the chest wall and the center mass had descended.  After augmentation, the center mass is still too low.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them 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.

Best Wishes,

The surgeon that had to revise their own breast lift surgery and not use mesh, and then blame your tissues, is gaslighting you. Mesh should have been used when you bottomed out after your first lift. Although this falls below the level of 'standard of care', something that would make your case in the court of law, it is still a preventable complication that would not have happened with a more seasoned surgeon.

You need internal support. An internal bra with Galaflex or Strattice should solve your problem. need to see someone experienced in revisions

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Based on your post photos, it appears your breast lift was not done to a high enough level of the nipple, nipple complex being slightly higher and slightly more tissue removed in the vertical incision plus the use of an internal bra mesh would facilitate the breast not bothering out that combination can be done in a third surgery. Expect fees to raise from $15-$25,000. Best to virtual consult with.
