I started with pretty far apart breasts but I went through the armpit for my incision point. It’s hard to tell because my breast were far apart to begin with but does my implant seem displaced ?

Answer: Revision needed Transaxillary approach often results in implants dissecting inferiorly and laterally, which appears to be what happened in your case. Most physicians have stopped using this approach for that reason. I recommend you undergo re-implantation with an inframammary approach to reposition the implants more medial. You will also need the pockets repaired inferiorly and laterally to correct the displacement.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 30 years and revision breast surgery is a large portion of my practice. Your native anatomy is slightly spread with less volume centrally. Transaxillary breast augmentation is notorious for less than optimal correction of the central portion of the breast. Oftentimes, when you place an implant, you are just augmenting your normal tissues. In your case, you do have a wide appearing breast with less than desired cleavage. Now that you have implants, you can use the capsule to suture the implants closer together. This technique is called capsulorrhaphy or internal bra. You are an excellent candidate for this. I wrote the original paper on this in 1999. You should be able have an excellent result. Best wishes To you.
