I am 12 months post op breast augmentation with anatomical 330cc dual plane. I am heartbroken with the results. My surgeon has confirmed that my implants are not sitting correctly and suggests that he remove the implants for 6-12 months, conduct internal bra stitching and let me heal before putting new implants in (I have opted for smaller implants!) What could the possible causes of this be? Implant size, wrong positioning, genetics? Is internal bra stitching the best approach?
Answer: Mini lift with implant exchange In your before photograph, your breasts were widely separated. At this time, the large implants have results in your nipples pointing outward. Initially you needed a mini lift to reposition your nipple-areola complex and correct the wide separation. The surgeon placed large implants and dissected too far medially and now you have symmastia. If the implants are retro-pectoral then I recommend implants removal and a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, the implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. Symmastia is a fairly common problem associated with oversized breast implants. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revisionary breast surgery. In fact, I wrote the very first paper on capsulorrhaphy-internal bra which iss the treatment for symmastia. There is absolutely no reason to remove the implants. This definitely can be done in one stage and is done by many experienced plastic surgeons around the world. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Breast implants Those implants look larger than 330. And I'm not so sure you have synmastia. Consider going with smaller implants

Answer: Implants Your implants are too large for your frame and you need to go down in size with a more narrow base. Your pockets can be tightened as well. You will probably have your best results if done in two stages.
