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: 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!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Revision Hi AlexandriaInTexas, 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.
