Unhappy with the Results

In trying to answer this question it would be helpful to see some pre-op photos, to know the reason for the revision, what was done at the revision, and to have some idea of what it is that makes you unhappy about the outcome. Please consider adding that info. Most surgeons would be less than enthusiastic about evaluating a revision without some or all of this info. Thanks, and best wishes.

Unhappy after Revisionary Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Thanks for the question and pictures, but it is difficult to answer the question regarding “normalcy”. I think you will be best off communicating your concerns with your plastic surgeon in a calm/constructive fashion. Explain exactly what you find makes you “unhappy” about the results of the breast revisionary surgery. For example, if the current breast asymmetry is the major concern, further surgery to improve the breast symmetry may be helpful/necessary. Exactly what is... more

Breast asymmetry can definitely be corrected.

Hi. 1) Just going by pictures, the right breast is larger, and the right nipple points towards the arm. These issues will probably not improve on their own. 2) I would wait about four months and then get another opinion. What can be done depends in part on what has been done already. see video

Appearance of Breasts Six Weeks After Revision

Thank you for your question. You do have some size asymmetry with the right breast being obviously larger than the left. It is very difficult to say what is "normal" without knowing if for example, you started with a major asymmetry pre operatively. I think you should talk to your surgeon, and discuss how he/she may have "missed the mark" in terms of meeting your expectations. Assuming the size asymmetry is your major concern, you will likely need revisional surgery to... more

Breast asymmetry after implant revision

You seem to have some breast asymmetry. Without knowing what you looked like before, it is unclear if this asymmetry existed prior to your revision surgery. Also, we have no idea what was done during your "revision." So, you certainly have some asymmetries now, but it is unclear the cause or the treatment for it without more information. Obviously you should speak to your surgeon about this, as none of us what asymmetric results or unhappy patients.

Correction Of Post Operative Asymmetry

Judging from the pictures provided you appear to have a discrepancy in the size of the breasts and the position of the nipple areolar complex. However it is of upmost importance that, "you" the patient, are able to express exactly what it is that is bothersome about the results. If another revision by the same surgeon is not a possibility it would be important that your new surgeon have as much information as possible. This would include pre-operative pictures and operative notes... more

Normal after Breast Augmentation

I think your right breast is larger than the left after your revision - but I do think you look "normal"... it depends on what really bothers you! It is so frustrating to spend time, money, and recovery to an augmentation and then a revision... but I do think you can achieve the look you want. It may require further surgery but it can be done. Good luck!

Six Weeks After Breast Revision and Really Unhappy with the Results--does This Look Normal?

The posted photos serve as very little help due to your clothing and type of views you posted. Best to seek in person second opinions from boarded PSs in NYC.

Persistent Asymmetry after Breast Augmentation

Clearly by your photos, you are uneven. This is correctable and you should address this with your surgeon. It is possible as things settle and swelling resolves that everything will be acceptable. If at 12 weeks the breasts are not better, then I would discuss with your surgeon what plan for revision he proposes. However, if he is unwilling or you don't have confidence that he can correct the unevenness, then you should seek a second opinion. Make sure you seek... more

Breast asymmetry

Without knowing what you looked like before surgery, it is difficult to comment. You definitely have some asymmetry.

Unhappy with Breast Revision

Preoperative pictures as well as postoperative pictures standing up without any clothes confining the breasts would be helpful. Breast revision surgery is about improvement, and that should be assessed.

One boob looks bigger than the other .. what has your doc said about it?

One of mine is bigger than the other just an FYI :/

My doctor is not getting back to me right now---but one boob has been much bigger than the other since day one post-surgery. The last time I talked to my doctor about it, he said that the bigger one just needs to settle and then it will even out, but I really have my doubts. I also kind of prefer the bigger one---I already have visible rippling on the other one and it just feels flat and small. My implants are a touch smaller than the ones I had previously and I think my doctor did not alter the pocket at all on the right side, so I think my new implant might be slightly lost in a pocket that's a little to big. I feel like my right boob keeps migrating towards my armpit... Not a great feeling. I hate having lopsided boobs!
