About 5 months ago I underwent a breast lift with augmentation 260cc high profile silicone gel implants. I was extremely deflated before so it is a definite improvement, however I'm feeling very disappointed with the lack of perkiness. I'm just feeling like they are still droopy and I'm definitely still failing the infamous "pencil test". So what are my options at this point.... thank you

Answer: So now what? Disappointed 5 months after lift with augmentation (Photos) I would say I think you have a very nice result. The reality is that many patients with very thin skin and deflation suffer from post op glandular ptosis because their skin envelope does not have the strength to keep them uplifted. Outside of trying to place a Autogenous Dermal Matrix, which can be quite costly, there probably is little that can be done. I do believe most Plastic Surgeons would agree with my assessment.

Answer: Disappointed 5 months after lift with augmentation I am sorry to hear about your disappointment. Options include revisionary surgery which will likely involve capsulorraphy, additional breast lifting surgery, and/or the use of different breast implants. Of course, much will depend on your specific concerns/goals; these are best communicated with your plastic surgeon in front of a full-length mirror and with the help of goal photographs. Best wishes.
