Can a Torn Pocket Under my Breast Implant Be Repaired... My Surgeon Says No.. Really?

Hello Lajpon,

I do not have the benefit of examining you or viewing photographs of you, but in general, implant pocket issues can be corrected routinely and accurately to restore the position of the implant and shape of the breast. These techniques should be performed by surgeons that are highly experienced in performing revision breast augmentation.  These surgeons are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and are also members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Best of luck!

Thank you for the question.

It is hard to give you accurate advice without examination. It sounds likely that after your fall you have sustained an injury to the breast implant capsule surrounding the breast implant. This has caused the implant to be displaced creating the change in appearance  (visibly wider). This implant displacement would also explain the loss of  “fullness on the top of the breast" that you have experienced. 

Based on what you're describing the repair of the breast implant pocket is very likely possible  using a internal suture (capsulorraphy)  technique.  I would need to see you in person to confirm.

Best wishes.
