Hello! My breast bottomed out for the SECOND time and both times I went to the same doctor. He is kind enough to redo it a third time and we talked about adding galaflex this time around. He says my implant side is not that big at 300cc and that the reason this keeps happening is due to my skin. I do Not care about the cost, I just don’t ever want to do this surgery again… should i try a new doctor or same? Do you think this is all due to my skin? Please help.

Answer: Revision The strength of your skin is not adequate to hold up the skin envelope and implants. At this time, I recommend taking out the implants and revising the scar in the inframammary folds. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. In your case, I would remove the redundant, inferior pole breast tissue perform an internal bra procedure-capsulorrhaphy, and revise the mastopexy. I perform this surgery very commonly. In fact, the name for this procedure is termed Reductive Augmentation. I wrote the first paper in 2017. Early in practice, I found that if I did not remove the inferior pole breast tissue, the breast would bottom out quite commonly. You should be able to have an excellent, long lasting results. Best wishes to you
