Cost on scar revision (photo)

Question

I had my breast augmentation with lift almost a year ago. I am not satisfied with my scars or the size of my areolas. I'm not sure that i want the same doctor to do the revision. Any idea on the aproximate cost?

Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider. You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well. Best wishes.

Unfortunately, that is a wide open question.  It is not uncommon to need some revision after a lift and augmentation done together so do not be upset.  If you just need your scars around the nipples redone, that could possibly be done in the office for almost nothing depending on how your surgeon plans on charging you and if you can tolerate it.  On the other hand, doing the surgery in the operating room, with full anesthesia, with surgeon's fee could easily exceed $2500.  It will depend on your pain tolerance, your scarring, your relationship with your surgeon, your surgeon's office facility, and more.  Also, those scars around the areola can sometimes re-widen depending on your skin elasticity.

Based on your photos you could get improvement from scar revision and areola reduction.  Prices vary from region to region.  It appears from your photo that the revision could be done in an office setting which will save you money.  Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an in person exam to discuss your concerns.  Best wishes!
