Hi - i had “bilateral implants removal, capsulectomy and dual plane breast re-augmentation with 450cc round textured, high profile mentor silicone implants and “inverted t” mastopexy” And I absolutely hate my results. The operation was supposed to give me added volume, projection and cleavage and I have lost all 3. I previously had 390cc and 410cc round high profile implants - and the aim was a larger, perkier bust. What can be done?
Answer: Breast implant revision Hi, sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your results and thanks for the question. If it is more volume that you wish to achieve then you could consider exchanging your implants for larger implants that are a better fit for your frame, or fat grafting over your existing implants. You may also need some subtle adjustment of the skin envelope and the position of the inframammary fold. You would need to consider the implications of a larger implant volume, which is an increased risk that the skin will stretch again in the long-term. This can be assessed more accurately and recommendations tailored to your desired outcome at a face to face consultation.

Answer: Breast revision surgery results Hi thanks for your question. I am afraid your is a difficult case because i think skin / breast tissue is quite soft / stretchy due to your natural biology and also stretch from previious implants - so its difficult to get good firm breast shape. I would say breasts are greatly improved and this result is as good as could be achieved - but it is of course difficult if you expected more from this surgery. Also scar is fresh and red (and clearly still healing on one side) so things will look better overall once this has matured (will take 12 months).

Answer: Surgery First, naturally your breast sit somewhat low on your chest and the bases cannot be moved. You will never be very "perky" because of your anatomy. Second, you could go some larger and place the implants behind the muscle for more upper breast fulness. However, please do not go too large for your original sagging tissue will just sag again from the weight.

Answer: Bigger implants your perception of your breast size is inaccurate because of the placement of the volume. Before, most of your breast volume hung from your chest and were also projecting. After, with even larger implants, your breast volume is higher on the chest wall and compressed by a tighter soft tissue envelope. If at least 6 months has transpired, you can replace these implants with ones that are at least 40 to 50% larger. To be sure though, get sized.
