Hi! I'm interested in reducing the size of my implants. I'm currently 750/800cc and would like to downsize to 550/600cc. Would this revision require a lift? Is there a way to revise the pocket from the inside so that it can sit higher on my chest? I really don't want to do a breast lift.

Answer: Will I need a breast lift? Probably NOT from the pictures posted. 3 to 6 months after going smaller, the elasticity in your skin possibly could shrink the breasts up. Do not even consider additional revision surgery until after that time period. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Ck_, 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.
