My left implant is bulging out the side. It hurts at times and I feel a constant uncomfortable pressure by my armpit and side boob. Also it seems like it's not dropping and I have a snoopy nose effect. What are your thoughts? Do I need a revision or will it correct itself with time, massages, and Singulair? I'm so upset with the way it looks.

Answer: Revision After Breast Augmentation I agree with other opinions previously posted here. It looks like you likely need a breast lift (mastopexy) to correct your nipple position at the least although an in-person exam is best to really evaluate a patient's needs. When there is some droop and a short base to the breast, an implant alone does not tend to correct the breast shape and nipple position. Many surgeons will want to wait until you are at least 6 months out to make plans for any revision necessary. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Do I need a breast surgery revision? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast surgery; based on your photographs, your concerns are certainly understandable. Based on your concerns and photographs, I think that revisionary surgery will certainly be beneficial. Exactly what breast operation you should undergo your physical examination and goals. Based on your description and photographs alone, I think you will benefit from adjustment of the capsules, possible use of different implants, and breast lifting surgery. My best suggestion: select your best surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience helping patients with this type of revisionary breast surgery. Then, communicate your goals carefully as well. The use of goal photographs can be very helpful during the communication process. Best wishes.
