I had a revision over a year ago. Now I’m wondering if I have symmastia or is tenting. I want to know if I need a revision
To make a quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we need quality information.This means including appropriate before and after pictures.If you’ve had more than one operation that we need to see before and after pictures of each of your previous procedures.Breast augmentation outcomes are generally based on three variables.The first is patient candidacy. The second is implant selection and the third is the surgeons skill or ability to put the implant in the correct anatomic location. Your case I think your outcome has issues related to each of the above variables.You may not have been an ideal candidate for breast augmentation surgery.I think implant selection was not ideal and I think your surgeons ability to do the surgery correctly at some point may also have been limited. There is distortion and disfigurement in your breast shape and that tells me there’s a good chance you’ve had previous complications like capsular contractions.Your situation is highly complex and cannot be assessed by simply posting pictures.To get an appropriate quality, second opinion consultation, I suggest you schedule those in person consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community.For second opinion consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and operative reports for each of your previous procedures. All of those documents are available from previous providers request.Operative, reports, and before and after pictures are part of your medical record which you can obtain by simply asking for them.Once you have all the information, you can schedule a second opinion in person consultation with other plastic surgeons in your community and which point you can get a better understanding of why you’re outcome looks the way it does, and what potential revision procedures may be possible to improve the outcome.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
