This was placed wrong from the beginning. What's the best way to fix it? I'm in NYC and I don't want to go to the same doctor.
Answer: Repositioning implants Hello, thanks for your question. It is possible to adjust the pocket surrounding an implant to improve its position. Generally it is easier to lower the pocket than to adjust it higher.

Answer: Repositioning a Breast Implant It may be best to seek additional opinions on #repositioning whether from the surgeon you initially consulted with or another. Particularly from a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. Consulting in-person will also provide you more information about the options best suitable for you.

Answer: Implant position adjustment Usually an implant can be repositioned by using the same incision and then internally adjusting the size and position of the capsule. Your right implant does appear to be high and the pocket in this photo appears to be tight compared to the other side. In my New York office we perform a lot of complex breast revision surgery, and there are some very skilled doctors in the New York area.Best, Jeremiah Redstone MD

Answer: How do you reposition an implant? The right does seem to be higher than the left. It looks like the right breast pocket may need to lowered to match the left's position. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast revision surgery in your area. Best regards.Jaime Perez, MDPlastic Surgery Center of Tampa

Answer: How do you reposition an implant? I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. It is difficult to give you specific advice based on the clothed photographs but generally speaking, "repositioning" a breast implant involves manipulation of the breast implant capsules and/or surrounding tissues. For example, if a breast implant is sitting too high, "releasing" the lower breast implant capsule (scar tissue) may allow for more appropriate positioning of the breast implant on your chest wall. If the capsule surrounding the breast implant is abnormally thick ( encapsulation), removal of some capsule tissue may be indicated. Again, much will depend on your physical examination. Select your plastic surgeon carefully; careful physical examination and careful communication of your goals will be important. You may find the attached link, dedicated to revisionary breast surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
