augmentation 8 years ago, I have Natrelle Allergen High Profile Smooth round silicone 350ccs. Style 20. I hate them, they are wide, I look top heavy and over weight. One implant has capsulated ! I will need revision I can’t figure out if it’s the profile or the ccs that’s the problem. 1) do I keep 350cc choose a different profile and get capsulectomy? 2)Do I go down to 275 ccs and keep that high profile. 3) Or go to 275cc moderate profile. I’m 135 lbs petite and hate looking overweight
Answer: Mini lift with smaller implants If you are having capsular contacture then that is a problem and you will need this corrected. The problem is your implants are high and your breast tissue is low. You needed a lift at the time of your augmentation. At this time, I recommend a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, smaller implants can be placed totally submuscular. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Implants I would go down in profile and in size to a smaller and wider implant and do a lift so that your breast sits nicely behind the implant.

Answer: Considering options If you feel you are top heavy you will want to consider smaller implants and lifting the breasts. Selecting the right size and profile to meet your goals is best done in person with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: High profile VS moderate The appearance of the upper body depends a 200 on our bone structure. Yours is naturally wide: shoulders, back and waist, so the best you can do to reverse that is to make your upper body slimmer: always be at a BMI closer to 25, your breast no larger than a regular C cup and create a slimmer waist and a bit more volume to hips/buttocks/thighs. Your breast is saggy, the capsule contracture makes appear the implants higher and creates a total imbalance of your chest. So you will be a great candidate for a Capsulectomy, change of implants, breast lift which will reduce automatically the breast about one full cup size, so most likely the reduction of implants to 275-300 moderate profile and the mastopexy will be the best option for you. I would add a little liposuction to abdomen and waist. Use the fat to transfer and add moderate volume to hips. Be encouraged. Dr. Cardenas.

Answer: Breast revision You can get smaller implants. The profile won’t matter much. You really need a lift. The sagging if the breasts makes them look larger than if they are lifted.
