How Long Will It Take for Breast Tissue to Settle After Breast Lift Revision?

Asked By:rnuch in New York, New York

Had revision breast lift in one breast & scar revision in 1/2011. 1st lift was performed 12/2009. First surgery left me quite asymmetrical. Right breast measured 21 cm from sternal notch while the left measured 19 cm. I'm extremely worried that the breast that was relifted appears way too high. The surgeon's nurse explained that he "tacked" my breast tissue to my chest wall because that is his technique. First surgeon never did any tacking. Is it too early for me to panic about my results?!
