Do I need a second lift? (Photo)

Question

Hello, I had a BL/BA done in December of 2021. Since my procedure I have lost 30 lbs, and I feel like my inframammary fold moved up. Is this “bottoming out” or does this look normal? Wanting a revision since weight loss.

It is not unusual for that scar to ride up like that even without weight loss. Simple enough to revise if you want

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

would recommend another breast lift. This may also require placement of internal support as that appears to be a rather large implant that will need more support than just skin. You may need some internal support as well such as Galaflex. I would find a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery; ideally, one with an aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society. I would also review before/after photos, Google reviews, and talk to the surgeon directly if possible.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The only thing holding up your implants is the skin envelope.  Your implants are bottoming out and will continue to descend down the chest wall.  You will need the old scar excised and revised.  At that time, you will need internal plication of the pocket to prevent further descent.

Best Wishes,

Yes, you are having some bottoming out. do not go larger since you are not supporting this size well. You need to go down in size and may need mesh for support.
