One year post op. Why do my breasts look so weird, is this normal? Can this be fixed? (photo)

Question

Should I be worried? Can this be fixed?

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

I would recommend an in person evaluation to determine what is happening. This includes examining the underlying breast fold. I would recommend seeing an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast surgery.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear bestuserhere,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hi there,
It really depends on what is causing the asymmetry at this time. I would recommend you seek a consult to assess fully. It is possible that the right side could have some form of capsular contracture. If that implant is harder and less mobile it could be likely. If there is no capsular contracture, you could have your pockets adjusted internally. One pocket opened up and the other closed down slightly. 
Go back to original surgeon and discuss
All the best

Your breasts are wider than the chest wall and mechanically unstable. Your breasts are also asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. You would benefit from a circumareola mastopexy with placement of smaller implants.

The lower implant is bottoming out some and has a wider lateral pocket as well. This can be corrected with surgery.

To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
There are generally three variables to determine the outcome of breast augmentation surgery.
The first is patient candidacy. The second is the choice of implants in regards to size shape, and type.
The third is the surgeons ability to place the implant in the correct and atomic location.
If you have concerns about the appearance of your outcome, then you should probably begin by trying to describe what you don’t like and what you’re hoping to be changed.
I suggest you follow up with your provider.
If you don’t get the care you need from him or her to schedule a few in person second opinion consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community.
For second opinion consultations come prepared bring with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report.
These can be obtained from your current providers office if you request them.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom, MD
