What are the causes for snoopy dog deformity after breast implants?
I had breast augmentation 5 years ago and I developed snoopy dog deformity on my left breast. I have finally decided to have corrective surgery. I am extremely confused about what causes snoopy dog deformity. I have seen two doctors and have been given two different answers about what causes snoopy dog deformity. I would appreciate your help.
This can occur because your breast tissue has lost some of its elasticity and is now falling over the implant. The implant position is most lightly in the correct position but your breast tissue has undergone some changes. Some of the causes of this are pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes and natural aging. I would consult with your plastic surgeon.
Correction of snoopy breasts is a technical procedure usually requiring a breast and nipple lift and selection of implants with a base diameter that fits underneath the patients breasts. Make sure your prospective surgeon is comfortable with this correction and realistic about your size wishes.
