For women who have just had a breast lift with implants, although the results are not desirable, a breast lift implant revision may be necessary. A poorly performed breast lift implant can result in the breasts bottoming out. If your breasts are bottoming out, this is due to a few different reasons.

The first of these reasons is improper stitching of the ligament of the inframammary crease when insetting everything. Bottoming out also occurs when there is a lower pole left, and the other reason can be actually due to your own skin. This also occurs as the inferior breast pole was incet and made tighter than normal, so the result is bottomed out

This patient demonstrates the amazing results of a breast augmentation revision of severe capsular contraction. When you receive a breast implant, your body naturally recognizes it as a foreign object and forms a layer of scar tissue around it.

This scar tissue creates your breast capsule and unfortunately contracts in some cases. This puts pressure on the implant which may change the positioning or even create chronic chest pain.

She needed both breast implants removed to ensure that her final appearance was both natural and symmetrical. A breast augmentation revision procedure must be done to correct capsular contracture and asymmetry to gives you the opportunity to correct your breast size as well.

Breast augmentation revision of aged breast implants is designed to correct the sagging appearance of your prior breast augmentation surgery. Skin looseness is a natural and unavoidable consequence of aging. After the age of 40, the body begins to lose the ability to produce a protein called elastin that is responsible for much of our skin’s elastic ability. Therefore, even the best breast augmentation surgeries may need revision after several decades.

In this patient case, she had capsular contracture and left implant deflation as seen in the before photos. Additionally, since she had saline implants, the deflation was immediately noticeable due to the thin shell. She immediately began her search for the correction of implant deflation.
