Can someone pls tell me what's wrong with my implants? 18 months post-op. (photos)

NOT your bodies fault, YOU and YOUR surgeons fault for thinking 800cc implants in your body frame is a good idea. He blew through your IMF, your old IMF is the crease cutting across the middle of your breast. YOU need a revision, with much smaller implants. FYI, going back to same surgeon=bad idea if he didn't realize that this would happen by doing what he did. 

You appear to have a double bubble deformity where the breast implant sits below the natural breast crease and creates a bulge. Oversized breast implants and/or poor implant placement can cause a double bubble. Your breasts implants may have been too large and too wide for your chest. Revision surgery is the only way to correct a double bubble. Based on his assessment, your first surgeon may not have the training and expertise to fix your breasts. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation to perform your revision.

Hello,I'm sorry to hear about your difficulty. It appears that you have a bilateral double bubble. As others have stated, 800 cc is too much volume for your anatomy. Your previous, natural breast crease is intact and pulling across the centre of your implants. You will likely need a revision to repair the pockets, release constriction and place much smaller implants. I recommend that you meet with a qualified, experienced Plastic Surgeon in person for detailed discussion and exam.All the best

You have a double bubble deformity related to your first surgery. Your implants are too large and are sitting lower than your original inframammary crease creating the distorted appearance. You will require revisionary surgery to remedy this.

A revision to resize your implants and recreate your prior inframammary fold would correct this.  You would have to go smaller with the implants but would have the nice breast shape without the discomfort. 

This is a classic, and severe, double bubble deformity, caused by putting in implants which are too large for your frame, which subsequently pushed past your natural and existing fold.  The only way to remedy this is with a revision surgery by an experienced plastic surgeon Board certified by the American Board of plastic surgery.  Trust no one else with this difficult case.Best of luck!

Hi missmarch3694.  Thanks for sharing pics.  Your implants are too large in comparison to your native breast skin envelope & tissue.  The crease represents your native inframammary fold-a normal lower boundary to our breasts before the abdomen begins.  You would benefit from a second procedure to place a smaller implant, release the native crease, and close off the lower space below the breasts.  Please seek a second opinion from another ABPS certified PS-take a copy of your operative note, before pics, and implant dimensions/fill to your appointment.  Best wishes,

You are experiencing the double bubble effect from poor pocket dissection and implants that are to big. You need to discuss these issues with your surgeon. If he is unwilling to help seek a second opinion. You need a revision surgery with smaller implants. I hope this helps you and best of luck with your recovery. 

Unfortunately, your problem will not improve with time.  It may even get worse given your large implant volume.  I suspect there is an animation deformity with your "double bubble" as well if you were to flex your pectoralis major muscle.  The good thing for you is a revision surgery to your breast will improve the appearance.  We need to decrease the size of your implant and gain control of your breast pocket.  There are a few techniques that plastic surgeons will use to correct this.  There is help out there, don't worry!

A poor surgeon blames his patient. Virtually none of us would ever dream of putting 800 cc implants in you in the first place.Seek out an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Review their reviews and before and after galkery. Make sure that you are comfortable with your surgeon as well as the office staff. Your result can be improved dramatically. Good luck.
