The distance from the bottom of your areola is much too long. This is what comes of trying to avoid the horizontal incision. to rectify the problem a more conventional mastopexy approach will be required in the revision.

This is not always easy.You can lower the nipple by removing some skin along the infrmammary fold.I would try this first.

I have had good success with these cases in breast revision by multiple maneuvers.

Thank you for asking about your breast lift.
It may not be possible to fully correct but a revision breast lift can raise the breast tissue to a normal position.
Bringing the nipple down will leave scar above the new nipple site - but an in-person examination and careful measurements will determine exactly what should be done and what you can expect.
Always consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Hope you find this information helpful. Best wishes.

This is a very difficult problem, better avoided in the first place by proper planning.
An in person exam will be needed to offer a reasonable solution. Most likely it will involve converting this to an anchor pattern lift, with excision of lower pole breast skin to shorten the vertical length below the areola, and to elevate the breast tissue.
A second opinion from another surgeon seems best.

An examination is critical for the best opinion. Most likely you could benefit from raising your inframammary crease and converting the lollipop lift to a T to shorten the vertical scar creating more upper pole fullness. You may be a candidate for a graft. An exam is needed to confirm. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in revisional surgery. See below for suggestions.

Thanks for your question and sorry to hear about your issue after surgery. It does appear from the photo you would benefit from decreasing the vertical skin distance below the nipple. This would mean converting to an anchor type scar from the lollipop.
In your case it is especially important to have a consult and in person examination, with a detailed discussion of goals, plans, and outcomes.
Best Wishes.

Based on the photo without an examination you could benefit from converting the lollipop lift to a T to shorten the vertical scar, and create more upper pole fullness. You may be a candidate for a graft. An exam is needed to confirm. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss this problem. Best wishes!

Your surgery was not carried out with the suitable meticulous preoperative marking of the new NAC location, furthermore your vertical scar is too long and additionally you have pseudoptosis.
My solution:
-moving downwards the NAC, but this will leave a vertical scar above it of equal lenght of the descension
-converting your vertical pattern to a full T
-removing all the ptotic breast tissue and replacing it for an anatomical ultra-adherent-shell breast implant, ideally macrotextures and if available polyurethane-coated, so that the pseudoptosis does not recur
Seek a very very good revision surgery master.
