Almost 6 months post-op - why do my breasts look so strange? (Photo)

Question

Why do my breast look so strange? I am almost 6 months post op. I am just so botched and so disappointed.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your implants are too big for your chest wall to hold.  Your implants are high on the chest wall and the breast tissue is still low.  I recommend smaller implants with a possible revision of your lift technique.

Best Wishes,

Hello,
Botched is an overused word. I would say that your breast look great with a few exceptions your right nipple seems to be too lateral and might be a little higher than the left. That being said breasts are sisters not twins, having them be identical is rather unrealistic. Without a pre-op picture it is hard to see the change. But as always, I would bring your concerns to your board certified plastic surgeon and have him/her address them

I think your result is okay but I would not have used implants  that large. I would be curious to know what size they are. I think you would look much better with smaller implants

Dear Vivid335626,
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.

Your implants are probably too large for your frame and tissue. If you chose this size, then you are not "botched" but your tissue is trying to accommodate large implants.  I would suggest going with something smaller.
