Hi doctors! It's been 1.5 years since my initial surgery for breast implants with a lift/reduction on one breast to correct asymmetry. The asymmetry is still very obvious, almost as if no reduction or lift was done at all. The surgeon agrees I need a revision, to reduce & lift the larger breast. I'm considering switching to a new surgeon. How would you approach this revision?
Answer: Breast revision The lifted breast has too much skin in the lower pole. If this was a lollipop type lift it needs to be converted to an anchor lift with a scar under the breast

Answer: Revision With an incision under the breast, the excess breast tissue can easily be removed. Your nipple is in good position.

Answer: Mini lift Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. You will need a repeat lift done on both sides. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.

Answer: Lift and reduction revision Not sure what went wrong with your first surgery, but you should probably get some other in person consults. If you are happy with your smaller breast, it would not be hard to revise the larger breast by removing tissue from below the nipple to get very close symmetry in size and shape. Good luck.
