Breast lift & 425cc implants in 2018. I had issues w/ healing due to my skin being stretched too tight had to be removed and replaced several months later. I always had pain in my right outer breast. In 2020 my right implant dropped. In Jan 21 I had a revision w/ 325cc implants for a torn capsule. That summer it happened again. Aug 22 I had a repair with new implants w/ Strattus placement. I still have pain and my right breast has dropped an inch already due to stretching. Please help.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Kylabgeek23, 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.

Answer: Revision Your tissue may still be too thin to support much weight. You may need to go even smaller and consider a muscle or capsular flap for support. Please discuss this with your surgeon or see one who does a lot of revisions for bottoming out from heavy implants.
