Will I Need Revision on my Breast Lift Left Side Looks Lower Im 7 Months Post Op?

To me over the internet I find you have a very acceptable result. But if you are so unhappy seek in person second opinions.

Hello

It looks like your right implant has not dropped into the pocket yet. Are you wearing a breast band? That would help push the implants down and make them more symmetrical. You should see your PS to get your options to make your implants more symmetrical.

Breast Asymmetry

It appears that asymmetry has improved, but still exists. It is hard to determine if you have a capsular contracture at this stage without an in office exam. I recommend that you followup closely with your surgeon and determine what options exist to offer realistic improvement in a safe fashion. I wish you a safe and healthy recovery. Dr. GIll

Will I Need Revision on my Breast Lift

The breasts do look different, but without an examination I would hesitate to venture a guess as to whether there is a contracture or not. If there is a recurrent contracture on the right (is it firmer than the left) that might be addressed. Otherwise, some additional lifting on the left can give you a more symmetric result. I don't know the timing of the 2nd operation. If it is recent, as in less than 3 months, I would be patient, work on massage. Thanks for the question,... more
