6 months post-op from vertical mastopexy. Revision scheduled for September due to excess skin/tissue under breasts. (photos)

LAmama1
I underwent vertical mastopexy by a highly-recommended plastic surgeon and am pleased with my overall results, but unhappy with the excess skin/tissue remaining under each breast. My surgeon is performing an in-office skin excision which I am told will easily solve this problem and not extend the vertical scar very much. Would you recommend this course of action? Are there alternatives to consider? Will this achieve my desired result of normal looking breasts?
