Concerned about some asymmetries 6 months post breast reduction.

Hello @tandresse, thank you for your question. Is important that the patient consult this with your treating physician so that together you can come up with a solution that meets the expectations as far as surgically possible, in order to achieve an improvement in the patient's condition. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear tandresse,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You may have to wait for the full 12 months before being considered for a revision breast procedure. Your left nipple/areola (in the photo) is closer to the midline and there is more breast tissue laterally.
A physical exam would answer whether or not a revision is required and if so, the surgical plan.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos I note a moderate degree of preoperative breast size asymmetry. In the postop photos, there is a degree of breast shape asymmetry with lateral fullness of the right breast. It does not appear significant in one photo (relatively early postop?), but is quite significant in the others.There is also a "dimple" in the areolar scar which appears to represent a healing suture extrusion scar. There are asymmetric stretch marks of the breast, right more involved than left. Stretch marks indicate the presence of permanently damaged overstretched skin usually occurring during pregnancy, significant weight fluctuation, or macromastia where when pregnant or overweight, the skin's dermal elastic fibers rupture, resulting in the loss of elasticity and the development of streaks on the skin surface. The skin will stretch over a greater surface area and will predispose to further sagging. This appears to have happened in your situation. Breasts are "cousins", not "twins". Natural breasts are not symmetric either!Photos can be somewhat inaccurate, but you may be a candidate for a revisional mastopexy of the lateral limb of the right breast. 15% of cosmetic surgeries may benefit from touch up procedures.Revisit your plastic surgeon.Best wishes...
