I had undergone a breast augmentation in Febuary of 2021. I have since noticed multiple aspects that visually are super unappealing. My left breast appears to have some sort of capsular contraction, when I flex the implant is completely visible and awkwardly shaped and even when I’m not flexing sometimes is visible, the other breast is also awkward underneath and neither look anything like the other. I want to get them fixed but not sure where to begin or what to expect with cost.

Answer: Revision Breast Surgery Reviewing your photo. The right breast shows a double bubble deformity. This happens when the implant falls below the anatomic borders of your natural breast. From your description of your left breast, you have what's called an animation deformity, where the muscle pushes the implant out and to the side with contractions of the muscle. Both of these can be corrected with revision surgery using various techniques. The asymmetry of your breast would probably be best addressed with a breast lift but if you are trying to avoid that then discussing expectations with your surgeon will be very important. Don't lose hope, just know everything has a solution, but yes it will require a second surgery.

Answer: Unhappy Thank you for your ?. Based on the photo provided and looking straight on at it it appears the left breast has a contour irregularity with the lower origin of the pec muscle having been divided and now retracting upwards. This will also allow the skin to stretch out. There may be scar tissue present which i cannot tell by the picture. The right breast appears to have some droop at this time. I would highly recommend consulting with a BC PS with experience in breast revision surgery. I believe all your breast issues can be corrected.
