I’m a 35, female, 110 lbs, 5’4, I had 350cc implants for 13 yrs, have 2 kids breast fed both. I had capsular contracture, sagging, loose skin. I had a reaugumentation mastopexy 460cc sientra under the muscle. I wanted the more fake look with upper fullness. My left breast dropped within a week after surgery. I’m left with loose skin, Breast significantly dropped, no upper fullness. Can this be fixed with revision, did my lift fail?
Answer: Implants These implants are too large and heavy for your tissue and are bottoming out because of the weight. I would suggest going back with smaller implants and tightening your lower pockets.

Answer: Revision needed 460 cc implants weigh 1 lb each. The added weight and weak skin envelope has resulted in bottoming out. Your implants are too heavy, your breasts are too low on the chest wall and you will need a revision. I recommend smaller implants placed submuscular with an additional lift.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. You do have lax tissues. Also, appears that your mastopexy was underdone. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision. I would recommend an internal bra-capsulorrhaphy. I published the first paper on this 20 years ago. I would also consider redoing the mastopexy as once the implant is higher up on your chest, the nipple will then appear low. Best wishes to you.

Answer: 460cc, Sientra - are my breast bottomed out or can this be fixed with revision? Thanks for posted photos. I recommend a 2 stage re operations. Stage 1 Re lift lower breasts to even out or gain symmetry. Then after 4-6 months healing Stage 2 is an exchange to larger implants in the 600 cc range high profile. Fees total in the $15,000+ ranges. Best to virtual consult with...
