Hey, I have had two breast reductions. First was a lift & reduction from a saggy large DD if not bigger. After the 6 months post op they were still quite large Large C size. So I got my revision and my left boob is bigger but drops plus the size is still a large C. My question is, after a years post op will a 3rd procedure be a good option to get my boobs down to the small B even A I initially wanted (I am a small framed person and large boobs I've always hated.) What methods would work?

Answer: Revision surgery Dear Reserved203109, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Candidacy for 3rd reduction mammoplasty? Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photos, I note breast size asymmetry. The nipple areolar complexes are at symmetric "altitudes". Options include revisional reduction of the left breast to improve symmetry or bilateral breast reduction to achieve an overall smaller size. Care must be taken to preserve the blood supply to the nipple areolar complexes during the procedure. Operative notes from the previous procedures are required (if available) if you are using a different plastic surgeon. One must try to determine the location of the base of the flaps of the previous surgeries. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation, examination, and discussion. Best wishes...
