Hi I am very disappointed with my breast lift. I feel my breasts look saggy from the front and would like them to sit higher and to have more upper fullness. Before having my op I discussed with my PS options and explained I wanted my breasts to look like implants and be perky. We decided on a central mound technique with a fat transfer to my left breast so the size matched. I am happy with the side profile but I feel they look sagged from the front which makes me insecure in certain clothes. I am gutted as I spent 14 K on operation. Is there any way to take a small amount of skin to tighten my breast without having major surgery. I am hoping this can be done under a local anaesthetic? Also the way my breast falls on the right breast is different from the left breast. I much prefer the left breast in the way it looks. Is there a way to get them to look similar from the side? Any advice would be much appreciated
Answer: Revision surgery for breast uplift patients Yes you are definitely very suitable for revision breast uplift surgery. For patients who find themselves dissatisfied with a breast uplift surgery, a breast lift revision may be an extremely effective solution. A revision procedure corrects the unexpected issues that happen after your first surgery, creating a look more aligned with your initial expectations.

Answer: Internal Bra Based off your photos and your story - sounds like your breast have bottomed out (skin stretched again post lift from heavy breast tissue + previous surgeon's technique). I recommend internal bra if you decide to have another procedure. You have the lift scars already, so placement of the internal bra will help hold up the heavy breast (and / or implant) and keep your breasts up and higher for longer (eventually might still fall some - can't beat gravity). And as far as making the right closer to the left - it is possible, but they will never be identical - as they weren't even before your surgeries (breasts are sisters, not twins). Ask your next surgeon about internal bra versus another technique that can help with bottoming out.

Answer: Breast lift revision? In order to lift the breasts further a revision would be needed. This would require general anesthesia. If you are wanting a perkier look you can consider a reduction. This would lessen the weight and sag of larger breasts. Another option is a lift with autoaugmentation. This is where your own tissue is used to create more upper pole fullness. This is different than a fat transfer. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Revision surgery Dear ghuj, 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: Bellesoma Method I agree that your breasts looks too low on the chest wall and are sagging. Also, your breasts are wider than your chest wall. At this time, I recommend a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
