What happens if pockets too tight for implants?

watmoetjeSep 23, 2022

I had an ultra sound and i got told that they saw wrinkles from the implants (implants were not completely smooth), because my pockets were small/implant diameter was too big for me.. so i was wondering will this cause complications overtime? And i was wondering people who have like crazy big implants like 600cc and up, dont they also deal with wrinkled implants inside the breast?!

I would recommend implant exchange to silicone implant, capsular tightening, and bilateral mastopexy. Your breasts are the final indicator of the implant volume as they can only tolerate a specific size volume.

Yes, I would highly recommend a revision including downsizing implants (you can see that the current implants are too large and have stretched the scars) with mastopexy and possibly capsular tightening. You may also benefit from an implant support system such as Galaflex.
