Dear Nice667613,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Thank you for your question. It does appear that your implants are sliding laterally. This could be either because the breast pocket is too large for the implant, or naturally, with a submuscular implant placement the implant will tend to be pushed out, laterally and downwards. If it severely bothers you, you can consider a revision with a capsulorrapthy and possible an internal bra mesh placement. Good luck.
You don't appear to have a lot of tissue and did choose large implants for your frame, so yes, they will move to the sides, especially when laying down. Natural breasts do shift to the sides when laying down. Your lateral pockets could be tightened, but you may need the internal bra with mesh to help keep them there.
Great posted photos... You need revision with capsularraphy of lateral open pockets using cautery technique with taping and no arm use fir 3 weeks postop or matrix implanted and still no arm use for 3 weeks postop. Fees from $8,000-$12,000. Best to virtual consult with...
Yes, the photos do reflect lateral displacement and you would need a revision since the capsule has fully formes at 6 months.
The reconstruction areola cannot be lowered, but your lower one could be lifted some. The inferior pocket could be shortened on the reconstructed side somewhat to try to help symmetry of the areolae. An examination is needed to determine what can and cannot be done. More could be done if you go...
You probably have thin breast tissue and are very active. Your lateral and inferior pocket could be tightened, but an internal bra with mesh may be needed to help maintain the position.
I would suggest going down in size, maybe 250 cc's, and go with a little higher profile, but tightened your medial pockets so you have more space between your breasts. What you have now is still too large for your frame.
