Finding Help for Revision Breast Surgery?

Poor breast lift

Your scarring can be corrected with scar revision. The nipples probably appear too large because they have been stretched out by implants that are too large. See another board certified plastic surgeon in consultation. You may need an implant exchange, with or without a small lift to correct for any sagging as well as work on the nipples. I am sorry that you had an unfortunate outcome. It is important to find a plastic surgeon with whom you can discuss your needs and expectations. more

Unsatisfactory results after Breast Lift

I would go get some second opinions with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. You may receive opinions that things can be greatly improved. There are always risks in undergoing a cosmetic surgical procedure, these risks should have been discussed with you preoperatively.

Improving unfavorable results after breast lift

Hi, It sounds as though the relationship between you and your plastic surgeon is damaged beyond repair. You would be better off seeing another board certified plastic surgeon with whom you have a better rapport. Be very specific about your concerns and he or she can give you honest feedback about whether or not they can help you achieve your goals. Best of luck. All the best - Sam Jejurikar

Revisional breast surgery can help bad breast lift results

I'm sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the breast lift results that you received. These can be challenging procedures, and matching a result with a patient's high expectations is sometimes difficult to do. The breast is a resilient structure- there is certainly a surgeon out there that can salvage your breast appearance and deliver a nice result. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with some experience in revisional breast surgery.

Unfavorable outcomes in plastic or cosmetic surgery

It is unfortunate when anyone has bad results from cosmetic surgery. Certainly that is not our goal. That having been said, sometimes bad scarring is unavoidable even in the best of hands and best of circumstances. I would be cautious in trusting one physicians criticism of another physician's work. We all have different techniques and approaches. Seek other board certified plastic surgeons until you feel comfortable wtih the options available to you.

Bad breast lift

I am terribly sorry about your previous cosmetic surgery.  Breast augmentation and lifting is quite challenging and has a high percentage of reoperations.  If you are unhappy with your current result, I would recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing the surgical options which include revision.  I hope this helps.
