Which procedure would help correct the appearance of side boob after a breast lift? 5 months post op (photos)

The trouble it’s your torso and armpit, you need to remove the extra skin in that areas, the result in your breast it’s ok

Hello @mstifc, thank you for your question Ideally, a patient should undergo a personalized consultation with a surgeon, during which a surgical plan tailored to the patient's expectations will be presented. After seven more months that everything has heal completely reconfiguring the tissue, lifting and reshaping is an option that would produce a very favorable esthetic outcome. Best wishes!

Thanks for inquiry and pictures, I would recommend Bodytite liposuction and you may also need Morpheus a month afterwards to tighten skin further, best of luck.

Side boob following breast lift surgery may be due to a couple of factors. It may be due to insufficient skin tightening on that part of the breast with possible stretching of the skin as one heals. By the photos, it appears that this is mostly fat in the lower armpit area that was not addressed at the time of surgery. Often this is treated with liposuction. In my practice, I often incorporate liposuction with a breast lift surgery as part of the procedure. It seems to make sense to me that if one is lifting the breast to make it look nicer, one should address this. Obviously it takes more time and effort in the operating room, this is built into the price of breast lift surgery in my office but can vary with other offices. Best bet is to discuss this with your surgeon. This may be easily corrected with liposuction under local anesthesia.

Thank you for your question. You have some contour irregularity on your lateral breast. It appears that your nipple to IMF distance is elongated as well. If the appearance of your breast does not improve after six months postop then you can consider a revision. The contour can likely be improved with liposuction only, but under rare circumstances may require re-opening up the breast if the underlying problem Is fat necrosis or scar tissue. Good luck.

Dear mstifc,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

This lateral fullness is often softened into a more natural appearing breast curvature utilizing liposuction. Allowance for an appropriate healing timeline is first required to see how much of that fullness is swelling vs. tissue. Once that is achieved, an additional procedure may be required to help achieve the cosmetic result you are looking for.

I would suggest liposuction of the excess fat and consider minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening with Renuvion or ThermiTight to help tighten the skin in that area.

Very simple...liposuction of the lateral breast and chest wall will reshape the lateral breasts and remove all of the side boob issues.
