Breasts drooping - will this contour fix itself or is this an issue with how the surgery came out? (Photo)

Question

I had inverted T surgery back in February and just had my six month follow up. Now that the swelling is all gone, it seems that my breasts are slightly drooping. My surgeon told me it looked like weight gain, but I don’t feel like I’ve gained any weight since surgery. If anything, I’ve been working out more than I used to once it was safe for me to lift again. Is he correct and if I just lose weight, the contour will fix itself or is this an issue with how the surgery came out?

Why did you have the surgery? Was it for chest contouring to have a masculine chest? If so, the skin will probably not completely tighten. You will need a revision to remove more breast tissue and skin.

It’s an excellent result. The surgeon has to retain some breast tissue or else the nipple would die. A secondary revision could tighten it up a bit and thin it out.
