Answer: Revision breast reduction surgery After 15 years, natural ageing and gravity can play a significant role in changing the shape and appearance of your breasts and this is probably not related to your initial surgery. You shouldn’t be afraid of revision surgery to improve the shape and position of breasts - your scars can be revised at the same time. Ideally you return to your original surgeon to discuss your concerns and options for revisional surgery. If this is not possible, ensure you arrange a consultation with a fully qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revision breast surgery.

Answer: Repeat or revision breast reduction Do not listen to any answers that are generic & not specific to you. An in person examination would be the best way to assess what may be causing your pain and why they are changing colour. What you are describing sounds like bottoming out and is much more common with some of the older techniques of breast reduction. It is almost certainly possible to fix, if you wish so. Don't be embarassed, as Plastic Surgeons we see all ranges of breasts & scars. All the very best
