Should I see another doctor or pay revision fees for Breast Reduction? (photos)

Question

I want to know what I should do. I am not happy with my reduction I had June 2021. Now my Dr is saying I will have to pay $750 for revisions when I already paid $10250 for reduction with nipple grafts. Should I see another Dr. or should I not be paying for revisions? Basically they're not shaped right and lay like they're going outwards and not rounded and full for over $10k. :( pic included

Hello @Monicast thank you for your question and showing your pictures. I understand your concern is a very unfortunate result. My suggestion is that you consult with several board certified plastic surgeons, document about their work, ask for credentials and referrals, about your surgery and go with the want you trust the must for the revision. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with the result of your breast reduction.  There is no harm in seeking a second opinion on how to proceed.  From your photos it appears you would benefit from a revision to improve scarring and overall shape.

Thanks for your question! Do you feel comfortable with your current surgeon? If the answer isn't 100% no, you can always seek a second opinion. Good luck!

Dear Monicast,
every surgeon has a revision policy. Many involve reduced or even no fees for the surgeon (depending on the situation) while the patient may still be responsible for facility (the use of the operating room, staff, and supplies) and anesthesia fees. Best to go back to your surgeon and have a talk about your concerns again.

Very poor result posted you the photos. Best to seek revision with only private practice boarded PS. Expect revision fees in the $8,000 ranges+++.
