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: Explant and Bellesoma Lift The best options are smaller implants with a simultaneous lift or explantation with lift and later fat transfers. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breast implant revision Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you would benefit from a breast lift. This would lift and reshape your entire breast around the implants. Regarding the choice of implants, it is best that you discussed this with your surgeon as it is a complex process that involves several factors, including a physical examination. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Fellowship-trained plastic surgeon.

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.
