I’m 5’7, 170lbs, 2 bbls (slim curvy) I had a donut breast lift in 2020 with 700cc OTM. They were perfect but bottomed out. The look I want is big, under my chin, round and perky. I have a breast lift in 8 days with a different board certified surgeon: anchor lift, UTM and internal bra. He said that since my implants are so new I can keep the same ones, as I wanted to stay with 700cc. Should I downsize for longevity, will the internal bra hold them up, I love the look of 600+. Please advise
Answer: Breast augmentation Large implants will weigh on the skin causing stretching of the skin and supporting ligaments. Smaller implants with a breast lift and supporting mesh like Galaflex would be a longer lasting.

Answer: Breast lift I would definitely down size your implants at the same time as the lift. It is more difficult to do a good lift with large implants. You should go down to around 450 otherwise the same thing will happen that happened before

Answer: The Perfect Breast High, perky breasts are a common request for patients looking for breast augmentation. The challenge of large implants is the same as for large breasts - gravity is unrelenting and unforgiving. Since you are trying to get back the look you had when your implants were first done, your best bet is to simply correct the tissue stretch that has happened since the first augmentation and, additionally, reinforce the implant position with mesh. Your plan to correct the excess skin with an anchor lift and place a Galaflex mesh or other internal bra to add support is good. The only thing I would question is going under the muscle. An under the muscle implant position tends to encourage bottoming out and flattens the upper pole - giving less upper pole fullness. I would stick with OTM and plan for needing further surgery in the future.

Answer: Breasts You need to go smaller. Since your implants have bottomed out, they will do so again, even with mesh. You may need to go down to 500-550 so they will stay up longer. Breasts do not belong under your chin.

Answer: Breast revision Managing bottomed out breast implants is not always easy or straightforward. Each time somebody has revision surgery the chance of having complications or undesirable side effects go up.
