Post breast implants, they are too big and low. How can they be fixed?

Question

My surgeon performed a bad lift. Like for the outside only. My torso now looks so short, the boobs are to close to the wrist and Im in a lot of pain cause my breast are loose and not attached to the place they're supposed to be. They are too low in. And the problem is in the inside not the outside. Cause they just lifted my areolas. Also my back hurts so much as all the weight of my breasts is lose from the torax

The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method.  The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.  Later, fat transfers can be performed.  Implants are not lifetime devices.  8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.  Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear AndyCP,
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.

Good morning!I would perform the Original Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique which lifts your implants higher on your chest wall and supports them there over the long term.
