3 Months Post-Op Breast Reduction - Already Sagging - What Can I Do? (Photo)

Question

Just Got a Breast Reduction I Am Not Happy my Breast Are Saging Already Its Only Bin Three Months.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

The breasts in the photograph appear to be still quite large after reduction. The distance from the areola to decrease seems to be a bit long. This will not get better with time and revision might be indicated.

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Based on your photos provided, it is rather difficult to tell. I would advise you to schedule a re evaluation with your surgeon.

Unfortunately, you had a Wise pattern reduction.  This technique is notorious for bottoming out quickly.  This occurs because the weight of the breast is opposed only by the external skin envelope.  There is a new technique called The Ultimate Breast Lift.  This technique transfers the weight of the breast to the underlying muscle to prevent bottoming out.  This technique also avoids the ugly vertical scars present in the Wise pattern.  You may be an excellent candidate for this new technique to revise your unsatisfactory result.

Skin will be skin. Although there are many different techniques doing a breast reduction all of them have skin laxity as a complication. The Larger your breasts are  the more likely your skin will relax And the quicker This might happen. a Good support Bra may help to slow this process down but in the end gravity will always win.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast reduction surgery. Assuming you have been working with a board certified plastic surgeon, I would suggest that you communicate your concerns in a  calm/constructive fashion. Hopefully, you will be able to work together and determine the best course of action, which may be additional skin  and/or tissue excision,  at some point.

	 Best wishes.
