What is the best way to correct my malpositioned implants?

Question

I had my 10 year old implants replaced along with a nipple length reduction. I am so unhappy with my results. Previously I had 350cc low profile over the muscle. Now have 500cc high profile under the muscle. I am much more asymmetrical now and have excess skin hanging above the nipple and a nipple that droops downwards. I was advised at the consultation I did not need a lift and any bigger than 500cc would be to large. Please can anyone advise on the best way of correcting. Thank you

Dear 3lgegeb,
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.

You did not show photos, so I cannot be exact. However, going with larger implants does not always correct the need of a lift. I suspect you need a lift.
