Breast implant revision - Can I achieve my ideal by increasing overall size and fixing crease on the right? (photo)

Question

Hi doctors -looking for advice on if I can achieve my goal result. I had 350 cc high profile done 2 yrs ago. Had extreme difference in size of my breasts. What I dislike currently: - my right breast (the smaller one) has less of a defined breast crease like my other - my implants feel too small in proportion to my size / height. 5’8 and 129 lbs. - right nipple is large but I know this can be revised. Can I achieve my ideal by increasing overall size and fixing crease on the right

Dear mamabear226,
Breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

I would suggest not going larger since your larger side is bottoming out. I would decrease the size on that breast and tighten the inferior pocket. Your tissue and frame will not support heavier implants.
