Hello! I’m a 24 year old ftm who’s 10mo post-periareolar. I’ve felt that one side of my chest (my left, ur right) looks puffier than other for a while. I’ve been dismissed that it could be swelling that would go down, but reaching the 1 yr point I’m questioning if it’s actually fat or remaining breast tissue instead? I’m not entirely happy- it makes me feel like I have a small breast compared to the other side being much flatter. Could it qualify for a revision? And if so what types of revision?

Surgical Correction is possible. It is not the suture material alone, but the surgical technique that has to be changed in order to achieve better results. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia.
