Attached is pre op, 1yr Post augmentation and 19m Post augmentation. I’ve posted before basically just giving up on fixing them but I cannot continue to hate them more with each passing month. I completely regret not doing better research and trusting my PS who gave me completely unsatisfactory results after schmoozing me into trusting I’d get what I paid for. I want upper pole fullness, not saggy melons

Answer: Implants need support to maintain upper pole fullness Without knowing what size your implants are, they appear to be on the large side and you have bottoming out. This means that your body has not been able to make a strong enough capsule to hold them in place. For that reason, pocket revisions with a capsulorrhaphy may not work. Consider adding mesh such as Galaflex for long term internal support.

Answer: Kind of tough!! Thank you so much for the photos and we all can certainly see what you’re talking about and why you have concerns! Your before pictures just didn’t look as if you would have that much difficulty keeping your implants a pill… But you do. We often talk to patients needing revision surgery about implant exchange, capsule work, or breast tissue tightening. My guess without an examination is you may need all three.... I know that sounds very discouraging but for you to get the fullness and perkiness you want, it may require that. I’m sorry we cannot all be more specific but take your time and find a surgeon who has a large revision experience!!!
