2 years after breast reduction with lift, pleating / bunching are still present. Would I benefit from a revision? (Photo)

Overall I think you have a really nice result. Correcting the pleating might mean enlarging your areola. Given how nice your result is I don’t think it’s worthwhile

Hello and thank you for your question.
Looks like you have a good result. Reach out to your surgeon with your concerns.
Best wishes!

Hi. Excellent question. Yes you would benefit from a lift. This usually happens with patients that have lost a large amount of weight. Your areola is in a good position but a breast lift revision is necessary if you want to correct the pleating skin and your pseudo ptosis. This is when some breast tissue is bellow the breast fold but the areola is not below the fold.

Best of luck,

Your breasts are bottoming out and when they do they are dragging your nipple and areola along with them and causing the shape and skin changes. You would need to have another reduction to correct that--I would see your surgeon to discuss if re-doing the lift would help you.

At two years post op these are your final results. If the shape of the areola is bothersome you can consider a revision. It is important to though weigh the risks and benefits of another procedure. Your board certified plastic surgeon can help you through this decision.

This is due to your breasts being large and stretching and thinning your skin. Initially, I sure it looked great, but then the swelling went away and left from sagging. You are fine. If this bothers you, you can be lifted and tightened again.

Areola shape can be influenced by many different variables after this procedure. You can see the skin tension is different in different areas.
Does this bother you enough to have another procedure? If so then bring it up with your provider and see what they have to say.
