To reimplant or not to reimplant- what are your thoughts?

Breast augmentation in athletic women needs to balance several issues. In thin women, implants may look fake above the muscle, so it may be worth a little extra recovery time for better long term results. On the other hand, under muscle implants may be more prone to animation issues so in these instances I would consider a split muscle technique. Because your breasts are small, and you are accustomed to having some volume, simply removing them when you have the lift is more likely to be disappointing. Your own plastic surgeon is in the best position to advise you.

You certainly need to do something with a ruptured implant. You are probably asymmetry as well. If you are very small a breast lift ill place obvious scar with out volume. Implants under the muscle will not affect your life style.. Replacing them will most likely require more surgery in the future. You can always take them out. You have a preview of how the will look on the deflated side. Good luck.

If uncertain, make sure you get your deflation documented so should you desire to get implants later, your warranty (I assume you have one) will help with the costs of the new implants. Then you can ask your surgeon about intentionally deflating the good one so you are symmetrical and can live your life without them. You can better appreciate if your implants are needed or not. As long as your implant isn't trying to push through your skin, there is no harm in leaving the deflated shells alone. This also allows your tissue to shrink so it will be easier to transition to a submuscular pocket if that is what you want. Bottom line, do what is best for you and your lifestyle.
