Uneven areolas after BA+L. Do I qualify for a revision? (Photo)

Question

Female 29yo 5”0 130lbs Hispanic Hello, I had a unilateral lift with augmentation to fix the asymmetry on my breasts. As the healing progressed I noticed there was a noticeable difference on my nipple size. I know a cookie cutter mechanism is used to shape the nipple during surgery. I just don’t understand how this ended being the result. Do I qualify for a revision? Will I have to go under?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your breasts are still asymmetrical in volume, shape and position.  You need a small implant on the larger side or a larger implant on the smaller side.  You may want to have a revision of your mastopexy as well as fat transfers to make the correction.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

The revision can be done in the office under local anesthesia. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

If you look at your preoperative pictures, you will recognize that you have fairly substantial breast asymmetry in almost every aspect of your breasts.
This is going to impact how each procedure was done on each breast, and this can lead to some inherent differences.
It looks like you’re still pretty early out from your procedure.
I suggest letting yourself heal up for a good 6 to 12 months and then discuss the outcome with your provider.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom, MD
