Q&A with Dr. Patterson

Advice for a breast augmentation and/or breast lift? Looking to achieve a "very" natural, proportionate and fuller look.
You will need a lift. The choice of augmentation or not is a person one so you will have to speak to your surgeon and decide what is best for you and your body.
I’m considering to have my breast augmentation done and currently looking for a surgeon in the DC, MD, VA area?
It has been a while since we spoke but you might try Dr. Paul Ruff. He is well trained and has a great deal of experience.
UHP implants. Have they dropped too much?
It does appear the implants have at least one side bottomed out again. This is not an unusual problem with implants this large or tissue that has lost its elasticity. It is very possible that your tissues have lost a great deal of their elasticity with your significant weight loss. In that scenario, larger implants will tend to bottom out more because those larger implants weigh more. Activity level can also play a role. Finally, the type of repair may play a role. It appears you had a circumareolar mastopexy as well. You will almost certainly need a revision of the capsule. This could be done with the cautery technique or a combination of cautery and suture or even the use of an acellular dermal matrix as a support sling. If there is still an issue of skin laxity then you will need a revision mastopexy. You might consider a vertical mastopexy or an inverted T mastopexy.
Had a disaster with implant replacement, scar revision, and lift. Now looking disfigured. What can be done?
It appears that you would benefit from waiting for a total of about three months until the scar tissue has had a chance to mature.
Have they bottomed out? What can be done to fix them?
I agree, you appear to have implant malposition with vertical excess. You would benefit from some internal modification of the pocket with cautery, sutures….
