Do y’all think there is something wrong ? Or is this just my anatomy and there is nothing I can do ? Is there anyway to fix my cleavage? My implants feel like they are all side boob and I just hate them...
Answer: Implants Yes, an internal bra with mesh cold be very helpful since you have bottomed out from the weight of the implants. Also, your lateral pockets can be tightened as well to give more medial fullness.

Answer: Would I be a good candidate for internal bra? Hello and thank you for your question. Your implants have bottomed out. You will benefit from a breast lift and likely down-sizing the implants. At times, an internal mesh is needed for reinforcing the pocket, in patients with attenuated breast tissue. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

Answer: Would I be a good candidate for internal bra? (Photo) With other surgeons and professors at Harvard, I wrote the chapter on breast augmentation revision with Strattice and other materials and techniques in Annals of Plastic Surgery. However, I certainly do not use it in every revision. I use it in probably 1 out of every 20 revisions for very specific indications in which there is an intrinsic laxity of tissues and poor local tissue support. This will largely be a function of the indication for the usage of Strattice. If it is used in recurrent capsular contracture, the concern would be different than if it were used to help in pocket reconstruction or prevention of bottoming out. Check with your PS to determine which would be better for your revision.

Answer: Explant and The Bellesoma Lift for bottomed out implants It appears your implants have bottomed out. Your breasts are low on the chest wall and you have very wide separation. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated 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. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
