Overdissection? (photo)

I had a "revision" of a previous breast augmentation and lift about 4 months ago. My left breast hurts and is continuously dropping and my breast are becoming more uneven, as well as my cleavage being uneven. I have been back to the surgeon twice regarding this issue and he keeps telling my they look great and that my nipples are even, when this clearly is not the case. Wondering if anyone has an idea on the problem? Would high profile implants make them project more, they seem wide and flat.

Results after your breast implant revision

Breast asymmetry

Breast asymmetry is normal and trying to get them perfectly symmetric is impossible. Without an exam in person it is difficult to assess what possibly could be done for you if anything.

Concerns after Revisionary Breast Surgery?

I'm sorry to hear about concerns you have after breast surgery. Based on your description, you may be experiencing a breast implant displacement issue; sometimes a breast implant that puts pressure on an area of breast skin can be quite uncomfortable. Having said that, your photographs to not demonstrate significant breast implant displacement. Physical examination may be necessary to ascertain whether this is an issue for you.

Breast Implant Revision

Without pre-op photos it is hard to evaluate what are minor amounts of asymmetry. No one is perfectly even from one side to the other.On neither photo do I see anything troublesome in the way of asymmetry of nipple position nor of implant placement. As far as implant profile, HP implants do have more projection. If you have moderate plus implants now, I don't think there would be a noticeable change. If they are the lowest profile, you might. Thanks for your question,... more
