Is fat grafting the correct answer? (Photos)

Question

2016 I had a revision surgery to remove my 500cc implants that were both ruptured. I had been going through some health issues with hashimoto’s and thought this could be part of the problem. The 1st surgeon replaced them with HP 400cc silicone implants but the pockets didn’t hold. 2nd surgeon used scaffolding and LP 360cc implants. Now I feel flat and too wide. No shape left at all. Uneven, flattened, really wide, and they still hurt on sides.

Igc4624.   So sorry you are having these issues, and your case is quite complicated.   Photos indicate that your result after this last surgery is reasonable.  Fat grafting is an option and may improve your results. Another option is do nothing, because you have been through a lot already and the marginal improvement may not be worth the cost and risk of further surgery. Discuss all your options with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

I am sorry that you have been going through pain and so many surgeries. Fat grafting in my opinion can make a minor difference in augmenting certain areas where you have asymmetries but it may not help with all of your concerns. It seems as though you are not happy with the shape of the breasts. If you are okay with the smaller sized implants, one option to consider is having a lift performed to tailor the skin around the current implants. It is hard to tell from the photographs but there is a chance your right implant may be may have bottomed out. I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a thorough examination and see what options are available. Hope this helps.
