Breast lift uneven and disappointing (from big c cup to a perky c cup) - how to fix?

Question

I had my breast lift a year ago, my breasts were full but saggy. I went to a very acclaimed doctor. I paid a lot more than the average price range because I wanted her to do it. My recovery was fine at the beginning but after the stitches started dissolving my left side had troubles, It was bleeding where the stitches knots were. Now I'm fully recovered and the left side has a bigger areola and is sagging. Is there a way to fix that? I don't want a revision, it already took a toll on me.

Good morning,
Yes your lift didn't leave you very lifted, but unfortunately the only way to correct this is with a revision surgery!

Thank you for the question. Based on the photographs, the asymmetries are not severe, and should be improved with revision. You should discuss this with your surgeon. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Dear gaia751,
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.

Other than redoing the lift, including repositioning your breast higher, you could do some micro-needling for the scars and even consider minimally invasive skin tightening with radiofrequency like Thermitight.
