surgery 9/8/21, both implants are 450 cc. During my recovery I noticed my right breast always felt more tighter & higher than my left. my left breast settled into its final position while my right one remained high. I expressed my concern to my surgeon & he emphasized to wait 1 year for the final position. I am over 1 year post op and it’s still running high & I can feel the tightness under my chest muscle. Over 1 year post op and now he suggests a 3k capsulotomy revision surgery.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear hotsummernights3265, 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.

Answer: Capsule You might try a round of oral Accolate and external ultrasound treatments to see if the capsule can be softened and the implant settle down. You may also need to wear the band.
