I had a breast augmentation with circumareola lift in 2020. The lift did not last or did not do what I expected. In June 2022 I went back to the same doctor who performed a bilateral mastopexy. I had issues with spitting sutures which I didn't have with the circumareola. I am still not pleased with the results (scars and drooping) but have spent more money than I wanted to begin with and I am not sure what to do now, any advice.

Answer: Any advice? Bilateral mastopexy June 2022 & not pleased with scars & drooping Hello @hpovio, thank you for your question. It is possible to do a revision and reposition the mammary tissue with minimal scarring improving the overall proportion and correcting the nipples. This will create overall harmony and this can be made with an L shape incision so you won't have scars in the cleavage area. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Lift revision surgery Around a year postoperatively, scars have really matured to close to their final result. Some softening can still happen, but for the most part this is it. While scars are often unpredictable, there are some maneuvers that may be used to help manage scars, as well as support the lower portion of the breast to help the lift last longer. Around the 1 year mark is when you would likely want to consider if a revision is worth it to you.
