I underwent lateral displacement surgery in February where my surgeon corrected the issue with a permanent internal suture. Everything looked perfect until last week as I’ve noticed my left breast has fallen back to its original position. Is there a correction that will fix this? Will I be expected to pay? This is my 3rd surgery. I feel so insecure and helpless at this point.

Answer: Implant placement I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've had with your breast surgery. From your photos it does appear that the lateral displacement correction has failed on the one side. You may want to consider smaller implants, adding mesh support, or both to avoid this issue in the future.

Answer: Implant Drift Suture capsulorrhaphy is not always a sure thing because the newly tightened capsule can either re-stretch or the sutures give way. The addition of an absorbable mesh like material can give much greater stability to the repair of the capsule. This is not a biologic material that requires drains, but instead a resorbable compound that lasts up to 2 years and contributes lasting strength to the capsule.
