Three breast augmentation surgeries - Implant not dropping? (Photos)

Dear Cheerful916854,

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.

Hi, thanks for sharing your case, one of the cons a dual plane or submuscular placement is this, it can cause a highriding implant, this is usually fixed releasing the muscle fibers so the implant settle down. It will be important as well to know how much you have after the implant exchange, since you might still be swole, if you have less than 6 months, we should wait since Motiva implants tend to settle down easily due to its surface. Other viable option, if the implants are under the muscle releasing more the lateral aspect and some of the internal fibers near the muscular insertion, might help this should be evaluated by your surgeon, or even doing a pocket exchange (over the muscle) which will be the easiest way,
