I originally underwent a breast lift with augmentation after losing 100 pounds. Following the procedure, I developed lower pole stretch, which caused my nipples to appear too high. I then saw a different surgeon for a revision. During that surgery, he corrected the implant pocket and placed Galaflex mesh for additional support. Unfortunately, that did not resolve the issue. He believed the problem was due to my implants being too large, so I underwent a third surgery to downsize the implants from 350cc to 310cc. After three surgeries, Im still unhappy with the outcome. My breasts are flat where the mesh was placed, my nipples appear too high, and the overall appearance is distorted with indentations. The shape of my breasts distort even more when I lay down or bend over, as if my skin separates or pulls from the implant. Is there anything that can fix this?
I've had silicone (800ccs) implants for 12 years and just found out from an ultrasound that there's a possible rupture in the right implant. Is the next step an MRI? If so, can any doctor order this? My original surgeon is across the country so I can't see him. I always thought I had capsular contracture in the right breast because it's always been tight, sit's a little high & sometimes aches on the outer edge. Could the ultrasound be wrong?
Weight 64kg height 53 Now just over 6 months post op 425 round silicone implants under the muscle With areola lift still have no lower breast pole one seems an odd shape my scars are under crease not on in the crease . If I lie on side I see what must have been my old boob hanging off implants I know the scars on areola arent great either due to scaring from structures spitting. I just cant work out what is happening with them or if its a bit of waterfall bit high rising bit
This is my second revision, and double bubble still present even though flex mesh was used. Can Renuva fat grafting help with double bubble issue or I have to go through another surgery? Please explain long term effects and consequences. Thank you
I had my first BA transaxillary UTM 1 yr ago w Sientra 385 MP+ and love my results but feel they are too small. Recovered well and Im ok with anesthesia. I'm 5'3 113 lbs & 40 years old, athletic and a small/petite frame. Before my initial BA I breastfed 2 children. My preop size was probably 32 A so not too much breast tissue. Scheduled to upgrade to 505 cc Sientra MP+ with the same surgeon but am getting cold feet. My surgeon & family/friends say I''m proportionate now and they don't understand why I'm doing the upgrade. Personally I wish I went bigger initially. I would like some other professional opinions if changing implant size when I have no issues has more risks (aka sore back/neck due to implant size, bottoming out, need for a lift in the future) than positives. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Im 6+ months post-op with Motiva Round High Profile 355cc. My breast base width is 12 cm, and my current implants are only 11.5 cm wide visibly too narrow and too small for my frame. They also sit too high, with insufficient lateral and lower pole fullness. The result is a shape that feels compressed and lacks the projected, rounded contour I was aiming for. The first photo shows my wish result from before surgery. The second photo shows my current result with Motiva 355cc. Im now planning a revision with implant exchange and IMF lowering. Ive had several consultations, but Im reaching out here to get broader input from experienced professionals. Im currently considering: Motiva Round Full 450cc (High Profile) Mentor Xtra 440cc (High Profile)
I had an implant exchange with unilateral capsulectomy on the LEFT side for rupture with CC. Original implants were 350cc UTM in 2010. Exchange was to 430cc. Right side was simple exchange. The left breast now sits at least 1/2 inch lower than the right breast and has an abnormal shape. The incision scar is still within the crease. At my 4 month post op visit my PS advised to wear a supportive underwire bra as much as possible during the day, which Ive been doing. Im now 6+months out and the problem persists. The hope was the bra would lift the implant weight and allow a new, supportive capsule to form, lifting the breast closer to the level of the right breast. The left implant also feels loose inside the pocket. I workout 4-5 x/week doing yoga and strength training and when bending over and standing, I feel the implant sliding from top to bottom. My PS did not discuss surgical revision yet, but I have an appointment next month. I am considering options such as: explant, revision with smaller implants (with possible capsullorhaphy) or unilateral capsullorhaphy on the left side. Ive done a lot of research and I am assuming the left side is bottoming out after the supportive capsule was removed. The right side sits higher and has a rounded shape, its still soft, so I dont believe it has CC. I am taking Singulair and doing massage only on the right side at this point per my PS. Vitamin E was stopped. Can I consider more surgery now? Thoughts?
I had a breast augmentation 13 years ago and had mid profile 315 tear dropped silimed. I am having the textured implants exchanged for the Motiva smooth ergonomix implant and am trying to decide on the Implant size. I have always felt like my implant was too small and not enough at the top. I am trying to decide between a 360cc or 400cc. I am about the same fat tissue percentage at 49, however more muscle composition now. Thanks for your assistance!
Im a 45 year old female, i had my second lift and implants this year as part of a mmo. My 1st was over a decade ago. My breast healing was very slow this time with t junction break down from 4 weeks to almost 4 months post op. I need a revsion but wonder if its possible to go through the arm pit or side of breast to avoid this scar tissue? I also had a mesh bra this time.and went from behind to in front of the muscle.
I am almost 7 months post op and not satisfied with my results. I definitely had asymmetry before the augmentation but I feel like the asymmetry is even worse now. I feel like the left implant is not in the same position as the right implant which makes it look even more obvious. I know that they sisters not twins but Im not sure if they are even cousins at this point. At first I thought the left was bottoming out but the implant had not dropped below the incision at all. In a bra, its almost like they are different cup sizes because the left one is lower and bulging more at the bottom. My surgeon feels like I have a great result and does not feel that he can make any improvements. Any suggestions/recommendations/advice would be greatly appreciated. And ultimately would like to know if its even worth pursuing a revision when taking my anatomy into consideration.
