I had BA in March 2015, which means I am 6 months post op. I have 330cc high profile under the muscle. My implants seem to have settled into my armpits and are very far apart. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Answer: Implants in armpits Thanks for your question. If implants have displaced too far laterally, it might be correctable by closing the outer part of the implant capsule and making more space along the inner part. A plastic surgeon can explain your specific options in more detail.

Answer: Breasts are too wide apart From what you have told me, having had a trans axillary approach to breast augmentation the outside portion of the breast pocket has stretched. If you would like to keep the same size implants, then some type of suturing that we call a capsuloraphy should be done. Sometimes, it is necessary to add something stronger than your tissues. In that case, I will usually use an ADM like Strattice. I consider this an insurance policy to avoid having to redo the closure should it pull apart again. Seek the counsel of a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck.

Answer: Implants moving into armpits This is not an uncommon problem that I have seen in my career. The problem can usually be fixed by closing off the implant pocket laterally so that it can't drift outwards. This can be done with stitches inside the pocket (capsulorrhaphy) or with the addition of ADM (Alloderm, Surgimend, etc.). ADM's are VERY expensive and I find that I can fix these problems without them. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and review your options with you.
