I had saline implants for 19 years. Left breast had rippling (exactly where the dent is now), right breast ruptured. Which ultimately made me decide to explant. Fast forward 11 months and my left breast is awful with a major dent and crease through the breast and nipple. I am considering implants again, however, I’m worried the dent will still be there. It feels almost like a hole is there..? My question is will implants make the dent worse? Or will it help conceal it?
Answer: Bellesoma Method I recommend a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Answer: Double bubble animation post implant This looks a lot like what happens with dual plane placement causing animation deformity, which is when the detached pectoral muscle pulls on the capsule. It can persist even after explant with muscle re-attachment, but I suspect the muscle wasn't re-attached. The best correction will be new implants, either subfascial or split muscle, either way with muscle re-attachment. You may also need a lift.

Answer: Dent and fold in breasts Hello, thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you are dealing with such a challenging situation after having saline implants for 19 years. The issues you are describing with the dent and crease in your left breast are quite concerning, and it is understandable why you would be hesitant to consider implants again, especially with the potential risk of the dent worsening. Please see the attached video to provide a breakdown of my professional opinion to answer your question. Implants may help conceal the dent and improve the appearance, especially if you choose the right type of implant and have adequate tissue coverage. However, there is also a risk that implants could accentuate the problem if the underlying tissue is too thin or weakened. It is essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your breast tissue and recommend the best approach for your specific needs.

Answer: Dent The volume added with implants should be helpful, but you still may need some fat injected for best volume. I suggest discussing this with your surgeon. Implants did thin your tissue in that area. A lift would also be helpful to reshape that breast, and this could be done first.
