Unhappy with breast augmentation: tuberous shape, symmastia concerns, and red lines – can this be fixed? (Photo)

Dear marianap,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Your implants are a bit large for your frame and I think you would be happier with something smaller like 300 cc's. You now have symmastia with the breasts touching. Your surgeon was trying to correct your breast bases. women can get stretch marks with implants because the skin is quickly stretched. Try micro-needling for this and scar products like Mederma. I also suggest going down in profile to moderate plus.

Thank you for your question. I have been in practice for 30 years and breast revision surgery is a large portion of my practice. In fact, I wrote the first paper on internal bra-capsulorrhaphy in 1999. Your outcome is not optimal. The good news is that this can be fixed. I would recommend a medial capsulorrhaphy's-internal bra as well as repositioning of your areolas to the center using a doughnut technique. You should be able to have An excellent result. Best wishes to you.
