Revision turned out like the first. What is going wrong? (Photo)

Question

In 2022 I had a lift and implants, 320cc. 2 mo. after surgery I noticed that it looked like I was never given any lift, or had snoopy boob (surgeon said bottomed out). I waited a year, went for revision, had lift, galaflex & kept the same implants. Now 7 months later and it looks the same. What is going wrong? Surgeon said bottoming out but they don't look full at all and still droopy. Can I ever get them to not droop or am I doomed?

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

'Bottoming out' usually refers to the implant position relative to the breast mound being too low. In both your surgeries it appears that the implant was and is riding too HIGH. In the last pic of your breasts in the three quarter view, the implant's upper edge can be seen well above the nipple, while the lower breast mound is looking empty. There is virtually no tissue sag. If what I'm seeing is correct, you need a surgery to let the implants settle down and into your breast mound. I'm terrible sorry.

Dear Cute544278,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

One would need to measure the height of the nipples to see if they are in the right place. They look a little low but overall a satisfactory result

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Naturally, your breasts sit low on your chest and the bases of your breasts cannot be moved. The nipple should be in the middle of your bases.  If the nipples are placed too high, they will pop out of your bras and swimsuits.  Going larger is not a good choice since you will just thin and sag more.  Sagging breasts, as yours were initially, do not hold well on their own.  Some fat could be added to the lower part of your breasts for a little more fullness and less weight.

Nicely posted photos. I think exchange implants to "new" BOOST silicone gummies HP with inferior re lifting operation at fee of $10,000. Best to virtual consult with.....
