Do I need a breast lift revision? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast lift with implants six months ago ( dual plane/285cc/motiva ergonomix) I am unhappy with the results, as they generally look saggy, my areolas are rather low and there is also a difference between left and right (that was not the case pre-op). First picture is now and the second is where I would like them to be. Do I need a revision lift for that? Will it be an anchor lift (the first one was lollipop)?

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

The reason that you feel that your breasts are still saggy is because a "lollypop" scar pattern does not adequately address the vertical excess that is present in a breast as time/gravity/stretch have had time to enforce changes on the breast. You truly need an anchor type pattern scar to address the vertical (up-down) and horizontal (-side-to-side) excess of skin and breast tissue. The implants will continue to stretch the tissues as well so I usually recommend a supportive scaffold such as Galaflex.

Dear Kelly780122,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Measurements are needed to be certain, but your nipples could be raised some. Your breasts naturally sit somewhat low on your chest and the base of your breasts cannot be raised. You will never have high breasts.
