Had my augmentation in November of last year,.Over time, a dent appeared next to my sternum, which never used to be there. Its about two finger lengths and feels almost like a hole. What may have caused this? I'm planning a follow-up with my surgeon, but curious to see what other doctors may think. I really want this fixed. I feel like i may have made a mistake getting this done! (485cc natrelle inspira)
Answer: Implants Your implants have stretched and thinned your own tissue from the weight and have left an empty space near your sternum. It would be best to decrease the size of your implants and tighten the inferior and lateral pockets. A fat transfer to the thin area could also be tried. I would suggest placing the implants behind the muscle for better coverage in this area.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method Your breasts are wider than your chest wall. 485 cc implants weigh over 1 lb each, they will continue to stretch your skin envelope and will descend inferior and laterally. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.
