Breast implant 330cc asymmetrical and sagging - what can I do to fix this? (Photo)

Question

Have 330cc in both breast but when I raise my hands they looks off one incision was higher from the beginning my left breast feels heavier and soft but uncomfortable to lay on my side . Why don’t my breast look the same ? And why is one higher and fuller then the other ? What do I do to fix this ? Do I have lateral displacement?

This is an unfortunate outcome of poor incision planning and potentially also poor surgical technique. Your left implant has "bottomed out" due to potentially secondary from poor support of your tissues at the inframammary fold at the time of the original surgery. This can also happen secondary to poor incision planning without anticipating the final position of the breast fold based on the dimensions of the implant that was placed. You will need a revision with some type of support system including suturing and a scaffold system to support that "bottom out tissue". I would recommend seeing a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with aesthetic surgery training and experience to tackle this type of problem in a safe and efficient manner. Best of luck!

Dear Dazzling7050,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hello and thanks for your questions. There are different factors that have a result like that in the long-term. One of the main reasons having a result like that is a deformity on the breast skeleton. If there is no deformity on your breast skeleton, breast implant revision operation can be performed and solve your concerns. To give you the precise information, in person consultation have to be made.
