My first BA scars placed way too high. My implants are not ridiculously bottomed out in fact they sit exactly where they should. My original dr marked my incision scars very high from the beginning on operating day. I'm having a 2nd BA to revise my look. I asked my doc if he could give me a brand new incision in the crease and hide it well this time and give me a little tuck. I told him my old scars are fading &I don't want to touch them. Is this a bad idea? Aesthetically? To have 4crease scars
Answer: Breasts Actually, your implants are bottoming out making the lower breast too low and your nipples too high. Once this is corrected, your original scars may be in the crease and your nipples will be in the center of your breasts where there belong. Do not add a second crease scar because this may jeopardize the circulation to your skin. I also recommend going smaller so you have less weight to push down on your tissue. You probably will also need an internal bra of mesh for better support.

Answer: Scar position Hi. I don't think you need a second scar. First, it doesn't look great to have 2 scars. But more importantly, your implants are bottomed out a little. You should have that corrected with capsule suturing and possibly Galaflex (or other supportive matrix). Ultimately, if this is done correctly, your implants will be higher and then your current scars will end up in the crease as they were intended. Hope that helps. Best of luck!

Answer: Revision but not larger implants From your photographs, it appears that your breasts are bottoming out and your breasts are wider than your chest wall. Larger implants will make the situation even worse. At this time, I recommend revising the old scar, plicating the capsules inferiorly and laterally to push the breasts higher and more medially.

Answer: Scarring concern Having multiple incision scars can be a concern, both aesthetically and functionally. It’s essential to discuss your specific situation with your plastic surgeon to ensure the best outcome. While it’s generally possible to place new incisions in the crease to improve the aesthetic appearance, your surgeon can assess the feasibility and potential risks.

Answer: Implant position effect on scars Based on your pictures and my personal opinion, it looks like your implants have bottomed out significantly and this is why the scars are not in the infra memory folder.
