I have a deep scar (about 2 yrs old) from a MRSA infection that occurred after my child's birth. It got out of control because we thought it was a swollen breast duct. By the time I went to urgent care, there was necrosis and I waited for lab results in order get the correct antibiotics. I had to be seen by a new doctor to address the infection and damaged skin. He cauterized it and now this terrible scar is on my left breast. Can this be addressed during a breast lift?

Thank you for your query. It seems that you had a vertical scar only mastopexy. The nipples do appear be a little higher than ideal and an infra-mammary incision along with skin excision can help. However you will have to balance the risk-benefit ratio of having another procedure on your...
You have some asymmetry noted in the photos. An in person exam is needed but it appears you may be fine with augmentation alone. Visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to evaluate expert opinions. You definitely do not need a full lift.
Thank you for your inquiry! It is hard to determine how much breast tissue you have with the implant. But we would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns and help get you the breast you want. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic to discuss your goals.
