Boob job to fix operated-looking breasts requires meticulous planning that requires accurate evaluation of causes resulting in the operated look. To eliminate the undesirable appeararnce, we must identify the factors causing the deformity. After identification of these factors, your surgeon will customize a boob job to fix your operated looking breasts.
Causes of Operated-Looking Breast
The first cause of the operated-looking breasts is a sharp breast implant outline. This will appear as a sharp demarcation of the breast implant and chest junction making the breasts look fake. This sharp outline is created by two side effects.
The first involves choosing an implant that is too large. Choosing a larger implant will tend to push out the skin of the chest aggressively causing a visible junction of a stretched-out breast skin contrasting with the loose chest skin.
The second involves the placement of your breast implant above the muscle which will create a breast implant contour that is more visible than when the implant is placed behind the muscle.
The final involves the creation of scar tissue around the implant, termed capsular contracture, which results in the appearance of a firm breast mound contrasting against the native chest.
The next cause of the operated looking breasts is a nipple and areola that is not centered on the newly created breast mound. This suboptimal look is created when a patient is offered a breast augmentation with an implant that is too large for her nipple and areola position. This can be explained by first recognizing that a breast implant must sit on the inframammary crease.
In addition, the center of the implant must be positioned on your nipple and areola. These two rules then help define the ideal implant size that should possess an implant radius that is equal to your inframammary crease to nipple distance. When patients are offered implants that have a radius larger than this, then the center of the implant will fall above the nipple complex thus resulting in an unnatural result with an upper breast pole that is disproportionate to the rest of the breast. This will result in a nipple-areola complex that is not centered and pointing down to the ground.
Boob Job to correct Operated Looking Breasts
The boob job to correct operated-looking breasts requires addressing all of the concerns above. This will include choosing an implant that is well proportioned, replacing the implant from above the muscle to under the muscle, and removing a thickened capsule if it has formed.
Furthermore, the nipple and areola must be repositioned to be centered on the chosen implant. You have two choices to correct this concern. First, you can choose a smaller implant that will accommodate the nipple to inframammary crease constraint or you can perform a breast lift. The breast lift will appropriately lift the nipple so that it is centered on the more generous implant size. These maneuvers are critical to ensure proper breast mound positioning and shaping to achieve stunning results.
Conclusion: Boob job to correct an operated looking Breast
We have discussed how a boob job can be tailored to correct an operated looking breast. The operated looking breast results from either a dramatic junction between the chest and breast mound or nipples that are pointing down. Both of these deformities can be corrected following determination of the causative factors.
