Hi there! My breast lift was over 4 months ago and tbh I'm not happy with my results at all! My breasts still feel and look very saggy. They have no firmness to them and are literally still tubular looking but just with a higher nipple. I guess my question is why did my surgeon leave so much extra skin?? And is it possible to achieve firmer perkier breasts with another lift? I'm just very unhappy and deeply frustrated and also I have talked to him about all this and he completely dismissed me.
Answer: Recurrent Sag I cannot differentiate whether there was inadequate skin resection, recurrent skin expansion, or both. Regardless, you would benefit from a revision lift, which would include a more artfully placed nipple-areolar complex position slightly more superior to its current position.

Answer: Revision mastopexy Overall, it is not a bad result. However, as you mentioned, there is still skin on skin and not necessarily maximally tightened. I think a revision mastopexy will be helpful in maximally lifting and tightening the breast. They will not become "firmer" because your tissue will not be changed in overall character. They key will be to remove breast tissue as skin-only lifts tend to bottom out, even thought the nipple position may be adequate.

Answer: Breast lift results Dear Ejsss, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is 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.

Answer: Considerations for Revision Surgery" Thank you for your question. After your original surgery, if you're still having drooping and lack of firmness in your breasts, you can benefit from a revision or further operations to get firmer, perkier breasts. For example, to enhance volume and stiffness, some patients choose to combine breast augmentation with lift surgery. However, it would be best if you spoke with a board-certified surgeon about your concerns and desired results. They can evaluate your case, review the initial operation's outcomes, and suggest the best management for another procedure.
