Breast Implant Revision for Slight Bottoming out

You still look great! I understand how frustrating that can be though. Are your implants under the muscle? I had some slight bottoming out on one side very soon after my first surgery, had a revision that didn’t hold (no mesh used, just stitches) and went a little bigger (not the best idea), and stayed that way for a number of years. The problem side was always a little uncomfortable. Over the years I just felt they were too big for my frame. I had a revision with a new surgeon several months ago and it was the best decision ever. I went considerably smaller and they look SO much better and feel like they suit me. Switched from saline to silicone and they are much softer. This surgeon also did not use mesh, but we deflated my saline implants first (just an in-office procedure) and wanted 5 weeks to let my tissues naturally retract and heal. That process also helps reduce the possibility of needing a lift (and yay I didn’t need one). Doing that and going smaller helped a ton. I also believe she used a lot more stitches. They felt much different and were more noticeable during the healing process. She did the bottoms and sides, so they are close together even with a smaller implant. I am so happy with my decision to go smaller and definitely recommend it if you feel like yours are too heavy for your body to support at the sides. I went from 550 ccs (was supposed to be 480 ccs, so my old surgeon filled them more than he was supposed to) to 310 ccs.

Did you go to doctor Robbins or did you go somewhere in Cedar Rapids?

I went to Dr. Robbins for all 3 of my surgeries. I know I sound kinda bitchy in some of my posts but I really like how he works and the whole practice. My issues and results are less than great because of my skin integrity and not anything he did. He let me know every time what I might expect, there was just no way to predict how my body would heal. One thing that I could have used more guidance on was breast size. I went with bigger because that's how they were before I lost weight. In my opinion he should have known more or had more insight about how the size/weight of the implants would affect already loose skin. He did offer to cover 100% of any more surgery if I had more problems come up. I'm just not going to do it again because there's nothing that can be done about my skin. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer anything.
