What Issues Can Breast Revision Surgery Fix?
Malposition refers to problems associated with a shift in implant position, either upwards, downwards, or to either side. Dr. Gardenier will attempt to solve these problems non-surgically wherever possible, although this may not always be an option.
High-Resting Implants
When the implant has not properly settled in the capsule, it may end up drifting upwards. It sometimes occurs if a client chooses to wear an underwire bra too early into their recuperation period. Capsular contracture may also force the implants upwards.
Low-Resting Implants
Also known as “bottoming out”, when the breast implants sink downwards, they can severely compromise the whole chest aesthetic. This problem may affect those with larger implants more frequently.
Implants Too Far Apart
When the breast implants have migrated outwards, it can cause an unsightly appearance and self-consciousness for the patient. Dr. Gardenier is well-versed at correcting this issue, and can securely reposition your implants for a more attractive aesthetic.
Implants Too Close Together
Also known as symmastia, this condition occurs when the breast implants migrate to the middle of the chest, causing an awkward appearance. The nipples may face outwards as well. Although symmastia is mostly thought of as a cosmetic flaw, it can also cause discomfort for the patient.
