Would my tuberous breast side profile need to be fixed with breast revision surgery? 6 months post

Question

I had a tuberous breast correction 6 months ago and am overall happy with my results. However, my right breast was more severely deformed and still is tuberous and misshapen in side profile. Is there a chance this could improve in time, or would it require surgery to fix? Is it realistic that it could be fixed based on my starting anatomy? I will consult with my surgeon, but wanted an outside opinion as well. Thank you very much for any information.

with a tuberous breast there is herniation of breast tissue into the areola which makes them appear puffy.  The lower pole skin is also tight and somewhat constricted.  My protocol for tuberous breast is a periareolar incision, sub glandular or subfascial pocket placement, radially scoring of the breast tissue to release the tight breast capsule.

If it has not improved by 6 months then more than likely it will not improve much more. Unfortunately, you have not provided a frontal view. However, it may be possible to use a circumareola approach to tighten up the skin envelope and release the constriction from the tuberous breast.
