What can be done to address fat on sides after breast implant exchange? (photos)

Question

I recently had breast implants replaced went with larger implants 780cc from 500cc.. first of all i never had side boob fat secondly the surgeon went through the nipple said he did a donut lift but i paid for anchor lift, i chose not to reduce areola, do you think i need an anchor lift and what could be done about the side fat now?

I would recommend another anchor style pattern breast lift while also liposuction with or without potential skin excision of the axillary/side trunk fullness.

Dear Cheerful245405,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Sean Fisher, MD · Answer

You are very early in the recovery process and I would encourage you to follow up with your surgeon and avoid considering any revisionary surgery until you have healed and implants have settled into position. Even in secondary surgery, it is not uncommon for implants to take time to descend into their final position. This will affect breast shape and tissue laxity as you implants are currently quite high. Allow for adequate healing and resolution of swelling before considering possible need for further surgery.

Just based on your photos, and none give a complete view, you appear to have gained some weight. The residual fat can be removed with liposuction.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Based on your nicely posted photos, treatment of the lateral portion of your axilla breast with Lipo and Endo lays techniques is recommended. As far as revision of Lyft, my recommendation would be converting you to an L shaped or lollipop lift, then full anchor lift. Fees range from 10,000 thousand to $20,000. Best of virtual consult with
