I am thinking of doing a breast revision for scar tissue. I’m trying to decide between getting them removed with a lift, just cleaning out the pocket using the same implant and lift or choosing smaller implants and a lift. I’m terrified of getting the same issue or worse. Your thoughts? Currently I have 625cc I am 5’7 175 lbs. I am currently working out and hoping to lose at least 15 lbs possibly 25.

Answer: Capsular contracture Dear tashmommy, 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.

Answer: Capsule The 625 cc implants are very large and heavy implants that have thinned and stretched your tissue. Yes, go smaller to have a better weight on your tissue and less risk of capsule formation. If you can be lifted, it should hold better with less weight.
