Bad breast reduction results 10 years later? (photo)

Question

I had a doctor insist on not doing the typical anchor technique on me and the results were ok at first, but now I've literally got misshapen, strange nipple shape and the scars go into the side of my body underneath my armpit. I'm still a 36DD-DDD so I don't want implants, but I'm really not sure what I can do. Its almost impossible to find bras that fit since the width does not match the volume. I've lost some weight and now they are starting to look lumpy.

It is clear that you will need another surgery to reshape your breast, results of a plastic surgery arent forever and the care that you provide to your body is important to keep your results, i recommend you to see a board certified plastic surgeon to help you, Good luck!

Thanks for providing your photo and for your question. It looks like you have a significant amount of "bottoming out" of your breasts, as well as the other issues of broadness and nipple asymmetry.I would suggest you see a plastic surgeon about having a redo breast reduction. The breast width and volume can both be reduced. The nipple asymmetry can be corrected and the overall breast shape improved by rearranging the volume you have.There were concerns about protecting the blood supply and nerve supply to the nipple when performing revisional surgery, but recent studies have suggested that redo breast reduction is safe even when the details of the original surgery are not known.I hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Thank you for the photos.  You now have what is called pseudoptosis and your natural breast has dropped significanly below your areola and would clearly benefit from a revision of your reduction to improve the overall shape of your breasts.Dr. Corbin
