Hello, I had a breast uplift with implants in August 2021. I had 450cc implants put in. Although I am happy with the result I received, I always wanted them to be bigger but settled for the largest they would offer me at the time. Now they have settled and somewhat shrunk, I am looking into further surgery to increase my breast size to around 600-650cc. I wanted more upper pole as well. Is this something that could happen? Any advice please.
Answer: Breast implant update Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, without measurements it is hard to advise particulars. That being said, however all three major implant companies have extra high/full implants that have a narrower base width to projection that reach over 600 cc. Hope that helps, best of luck.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Implants do not provide lift to the breasts. Your breasts are already wider than your chest wall and are mechanically unstable. You need a breast lift and small implants. The technique I recommend is explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breasts Please don't go bigger. Initially, you will look fine, but then your tissue will stretch from the weight of even heavier implants and you will sag even more. Implants don't shrink, but your tissue stretches and thins and holds less well over time. An internal mesh bra could be used to try and support these implants.

Answer: Probably maxed out now When you need a breast lift, it means that your tissues have poor elasticity. And that means that you will never have long term upper pole fullness as the weight of bigger implants will stretch and settle back down over a year and wind up looking matronly. Patients need to understand and accept what their own starting point and tissues will allow. I would suggest doing nothing from where you are. Others may suggest internal support materials, mesh etc but that is no guarantee of what you want if you are trying to go that much bigger. Again, the tissues dictate the final result.
