I went to Turkey for implant replacement and uplift. Previous implant size 550cc over the muscle Wanting 600-700cc He had said on op morning that as I am having a lift he would only be able to go smaller is this correct. ? Now I have smaller breast than desired. Thank you
Answer: Breast implant revision Hi - it is difficult to answer this question without the benefit of photographs or seeing you in person. However, fundamentally, making the breasts larger (for example by upsizing an implant) and performing a lift at the same time does introduce additional risks as the surgeon is attempting to increase the volume of the breast, whilst reducing the skin envelope. I would recommend visiting surgeons who will see you at least twice prior to your surgical date so that you can agree on the operative plan and how to achieve your desired outcomes well in advance of surgery.

Answer: Breasts You did not post photos of before and after, so I will have to defer to your surgeon's opinion. However, since you needed a lift, going larger would not have been wise. You would just sag again. Going smaller is best with a lift so it holds up longer.

Answer: Mastopexy and augmentation. Hello!Thank you for your question. When undergoing a simultaneous mastooexy (breast lift) and augmentation, the surgeon has to evaluate the soft tissue (skin and breast tissue) available. To perform a mastopexy the surgeon has to remove some of the skin to achieve the desired breast lift. Placing an implant that is too large can jeopardize the blood flow to the skin and can lead to tissue necrosis and wound healing problems, breakdown of incisions, implant exposure, and even nipple and breast necrosis. It is not uncommon to reduce the size of the implants in order to perform a safe surgery. I hope this helps answer your question,Best of luck on your aesthetic journey!

Answer: Breast lift I agree with that opinion. A beast lift snd large implants at the same time is a recipe for trouble. Going with a larger implant later
