I had a vertical lift with 305cc implants in 2020. Since then I’ve had two revisions. Right implant was lowered but is still too high. Surgeon said that maybe my chest is pointed outwards? Had another revision to tighten the left lower side. My size and shape has been so uneven since the beginning. I just don’t know what is going on or where to go from here. After two revisions, I just want them out at this point. But would I need another lift to make them even? Any advice/thoughts?
Answer: Variables, Affecting breast surgery Almost all women have significant breast asymmetry. Almost people,( men and women) the left breast sits higher on the chest wall than the right side. The position of the breast on the chest wall is usually determined by the IMF (infra mammary fold ) With breast lift surgery, if the nipple is centered on the breast and the left nipple typically sits slightly higher then the right side because the left breast sits higher on the chest wall. Some women have divergent breast in which case the nipple points out to decide. Sometimes breast divergence is amplified and put on display with the projection of implants.Some women have divergent breast in which case the nipple points out to decide. Sometimes breast divergence is amplified and put on display with the projection of implants. There are a lot of variables to take in the consideration. To make a quality assessment we usually need to see proper before and after pictures. For patients have had multiple procedures we should ideally have access to before, and after pictures to each of your previous operations. At this point, your situation is a bit complex and is probably better handled relying on in person consultations. For second opinion, consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before, and after pictures and copies of your previous operative reports. These are part of your medical record that you can request from your current provider. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
