Should I consider a second revision? Concerned about asymmetry and size. Currently 415 cc high implants (photos)

Question

I recently had my breasts done with a lift. I went in not knowing much about implants but knew what size i wanted to be. I had my breasts done earlier this year and was disappointed in the size. I went for a revision and opt for the 415cc high implants. I still feel like they are too small and want to go bigger. The left is also flatter then my right. I’m really disappointed all together. What are your thoughts?

Your breasts are already wider than your chest wall.  You cannot tolerate more volume to your breasts.  If you want your breasts to appear larger you may consider a tummy tuck.  A tummy tuck will make the abdomen flatter and make the breasts appear larger.  Also, at the same time, fat can be harvested from the abdomen or elsewhere and transferred to the breasts if you want additional upper pole fullness.

Best Wishes,

Overall you have excellent results.  There is adequate symmetry and they look very natural.  I would hold off on further surgery.

Dear Thoughtful595566,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Since you needed a lift, I would suggest not going larger or you will just have heavy and soon sagging implants. Your own tissue, that previously sagged, must support the weight of implants. Please don't go larger or you will be disappointed.
