If the Implant Pockets Were Not Made Deep Enough Originally, is That the Surgeon's Fault?

No, it is not necessarily the surgeon's fault that the implants have “not dropped enough”. In other words, there is no way to know whether the breast implant pockets were  dissected correctly or not. We DO know that sometimes, despite best efforts and “correct” surgery, breast implants do not behave the way we would hope they would.

 Assuming you have confidence in your plastic surgeons abilities,  based on seeing lots of examples of his/her work,  I would suggest that you proceed with the revisionary surgery. Costs of facility and anesthesia fees are commonly charged.

I hope this helps.

When surgeons make the pockets for the implants we rarely put them exactly where we want them because we know they will settle over time...And most of the time they hit right where we expected...But sometimes they just don't drop like out experience tells us and in fact, sometimes I'm surprised that putting strange implants in a body works as well as it does most of the time! So adjustments shouldn't be seen as a mistake...Unless it is repeated often

implant revision, capsules, malposition

sorry for your problems

capsules can occur in up to 20 percent of patients. it is impossible to say if its the doctors fault.  this can often be treated under local or sedation to limit costs.

sorryJH
