I am 38 years old, 5'9" tall and 145lbs. I had one child who breastfed. I opted for breast augmentation in 2018 using 450cc HP Mentor Smooth Shell Round Silicone Gel Implants. I have always felt they were slightly large for my body although I love them. My left breast has capsulated and I am going to have revision done next month. Trying to decide between going smaller, going a little larger or changing to the newer Mentor Xtra HP. Don't want to buy new bras. Before, after and wish pic included.

Answer: Revision Augmentation Mastopexy You’d do well to have a breast lift; it would utilize your own breast tissue to give more projection where you need it, not down under the implant.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear johnsonmama06, 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.
