50yo post breastfeeding, petite, 105 lb, 5'3. Had surgery 4 mos ago for h/o asymmetry & gr 2 ptosis -300 cc implants under each muscle. I now have waterfall effect. Larger breast still has gr 2 ptosis, other w/grade 1. Breast tissue sits at bottom of implant. When I bend forward in front of a mirror, I can see my breast tissue sagging in front of the implant. During a mastopexy can the surgeon remove excess tissue in the breasts, especially larger breast (which just has more sagging skin/tissue) to even out size/symmetry/sagging?
