The perfect is the enemy of the good

Dear beach31, You have a very nice result. You didn't mention how long post op you are, or what the specifics of your concerns are, but I assume that may have wanted the nipple position slightly higher or the breast mound to be more elevated on the chest. I will address these issues, and why I think you have a good outcome. From the photos, you look like you may have moderately large breasts.

Breast lift revision

Your breasts from the one view look like they have a nice shape but do look a bit low. Sometimes this can be revised fairly easily.

Breast lift. Should it be repeated?

Your photos show an excellant result with very good shape, contour and symmetry. The nipple/areolar appear to be at or slightly above the level of the fold under your breast, which is the correct position. Elevating the nipple/areolar more could result in problems which would be difficult to fix.

Breasts Seem Low After Breast Lift

Without the preoperative photo it's difficult to compare. You have a nice shape to your breasts, but there still is some "glandular ptosis", or sagging to the breast tissue. A revision of this may improve this, but the longevity is questionable. Going through with a revision would depend upon how unhappy you are with your breasts now and your expectations for what a revision can do.

Revision Breast Lift?

Thank you for the question and pictures. It's nice to hear that you appreciate the nice results of surgery you have achieved. If you feel that they can be improved upon, communicate your concerns with your plastic surgeon ( who has done a nice job for you). Make sure that you do not make a good situation worse. Best wishes.
