I had an augmentation 10 weeks ago 330cc textured, teardrop unders(I previously had a mastopexy 1 year ago). It feels like I have too much side boob and it feels like I have a tennis ball in each armpit when I bring my arms together. My cleavage and the surrounding area on both breasts feels empty especially on the left side(I’m left handed). When I lean forward my breasts look empty. I’ve heard of drop and fluff, can you tell me are my breasts likely to fill anymore at the front and less at the sides?

Answer: Your anchor procedure results are unfortunate but typical Unfortunately, you had an anchor procedure done, which did not significantly lift your breasts high enough on the chest wall or medial enough. The technique I recommend is explantation using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevate higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: How much will my breasts change after my augmentation Hi and thank you for the question. The results of a breast augmentation tend to evolve for about 3-12 months depending on the nature of your breast tissue, skin and the implants used. Implants tend to drop down over time, but they don't tend to move closer together. Textured implants also tend to move less than smooth implants. That being said, I would suggest that you watch and wait to see what happens for the next 4 months or so. I would see your surgeon for a 6 month postop check. If you have not achieved the results you want, that would be a good time to go over your concerns and options. Best of luck. Dr West
