I have a significant deformity at my areola scar that was caused when my implants were placed & became more noticeable after their removal (3yrs ago). It is visible when I lift my arms up. My implants were placed above the muscle. I dislike the look of breast lifts both the scarring & the shape & do not want new implants placed. What other options do I have to fix this tethering? Thank you!

Answer: Breast revision Breast revision with breast lifting with vertical/ lollipop scars may help with the depression after implant removal. Additionally, fat grafting to the breast helps with depression and adds volume to the breast. Also Alloderm and other acellular dermal matrix soften the scar contracture.

Answer: Lollipop breast lift Based on these photos, breast lift is the best possible option. You will end up with lollipop scar, but improved shape and more appropriate position of nipple/areolas. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast surgery is recommended. Good luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
