I’m 6 months post op, subfascial silicone. I’ve got quite a bit of lateral displacement when laying flat on my back, & when laying on my stomach, my implants go into my armpits. According to my records, I have poor elasticity. My implants are large, 535cc & 560cc. After speaking with other prospective surgeons, I’ve been told my pockets were over dissected & my natural breast crease was lowered on my right side. What is the best way to fix this? GalaFlex mesh? Capsulorraphy?
Answer: Best Way To Fox Pocket Overdissection Thanks for your question, & including your photos! In my experience of doing thousands of breast augmentation surgeries, I’d favor a mix of internal capsulorhaphy, using both strong internal permanent Sutures, & a “popcorning” method. I don’t usually use ADM for people with your situation, although some surgeons do. Best of luck to you!

Answer: What is the best way to fix over-dissection of pockets? Thank you for the question and pictures. Internal suture repair of the breast implant capsule ( capsulorrhaphy) will be necessary to prevent breast implant displacement and better center the breasts on the chest wall. In my practice, this repair is done with a 2 layered permanent suture technique. The use of acellular dermal matrix is an option (although not usually necessary) especially if significant implant rippling/palpability is present.

Answer: Capsulorraphy Also known as capsulopexy, I sew off the capsule with a permanent suture. Usually this fixes the problem. With a biologic, the challenge is still that you have to have good purchase on the chest wall. If I can get that without a biologic, there is one less step (and expense!) involved.Good Luck!
