Dec 2022 had 375 UTM saline anchor lift. Seen surgeon often, she did arm lift and thigh lift after. Continue to tell me breast need to drop. I did everything she told me, maneuver on wall, wore band, max support bra, massage. Recently I have a lot of tissue under nipple. Does feel hard, implants move around when maneuvered, but I am looking deformed saggy when I bend over. Definitely not looking at $21 boob job! Going to make an appt, but need some opinions.

Answer: Implants You may have a capsule keeping your implants a little higher. Once released, any excess inferior breast tissue can also be revised. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Surgery results To make a proper assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see a complete set a before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. I’m guessing you had significant skin laxity, and this makes quality outcomes a significant challenge. It looks like you’re flexing your pectoralis muscles in the picture and this is going to move your implants. I don’t see what the point of doing that is. We don’t assess implant outcomes based on what you flexing your muscles. If you want a proper assessment, I suggested scheduling in person second opinion consultations. Come prepared for a second opinion consultations by bringing with you a complete set of before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are all available from your current providers office, if you request them. There are only two variables to determine the outcome of the most cosmetic surgical procedures. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure in the first place, and the second is the skill of the provider. The best results are always going to be on patients, who are excellent candidates in the hands of excellent providers. Understanding your own candidacy for surgery is an important part of understanding what a procedure can, and cannot accomplish. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
