Hi I had BA surgery on May 8 th 2012 . At 3 months my right breast was going to far over to the arm pit . At 4 months it started to bottom out . I'm going to get sutures to hold the implant over and up . I sure hope it works . I wasn't going to fix it until it started to bottom out . I will update after surgery .

Hi Sissy! So sorry to hear that you are going through this and need a revision! I hear it is def. fixable and that they usu. put a couple rows of stitches in to support it. When is your surgery?

This is the correct procedure to fix an overly large pocket and or bottoming out. Occassionally I will use ADM like Strattice or Allomax to give extra strength to the pocket repair. This does add additional cost to the plrocedure but is beneficial for the right patient. Discuss this with your doctor prior to surgery so he/sher can order the product if you opt for it. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving after your surgery. Dr. Schuster in Boca raton.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. May I ask what type and size implants you have now? And will you be getting the same sort of implants with your revision?

Angiemcc I have 420 saline . I'm keeping the same size . I'm only having revision on my right breast . The pic of my bottoming out was taken with a mirror .

I am glad to hear you are doing well Sissy! And nice to know that recovery isnt as painful with the revision. Yay! What did the doc say about it? Will it start out higher and then drop?

Oh no, it really doesnt last long and will go away. Is probably the antibiotic and wash they put into the cavity. Im doing good! Am going to do the revision but am waiting to do it.
