Does Acellular Dermal Matrix became absorbed by the body, or does it stay put but integrated into the body?

Asked By:milim in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I had my implants changed 6 months ago, went a size up, so pockets had to be made larger. I had a Bovine ADM sling in one breast that was placed after I bottomed out after a car crash. Now I can feel that breast sitting lower again, and I can feel something at the bottom of that breast! He admitted he forgot about the sling, and cut right through while making the pocket bigger, but that it would be gone by now, told me it can not be the sling as it would be absorbed by my body??

Your heavy implants are sagging now from the weight. A doughnut lift will not correct this. If you go even bigger, that is more implant weight to stretch and thin your tissue and cause more sagging. Please do not go larger.
Your own tissue has sagged with your implants remaining in place. An examination is needed to see what can and cannot be done. However, using the vertical incision below your nipple, excess skin can be removed. Your nipples may still be in good position, but measurements are needed,
Your 800 cc implants are way too large and heavy for your tissue and will not stay up over time. I would suggest going smaller and redoing the lift to remove excess skin. Otherwise, your implants will sag more with time. Please do not go larger.
