Under muscle areola incision, 430cc, round & scar attached to muscle - can I correct? (Photos)

Question

Hello. I had a BA under the muscle areola incision, 430cc round, 4 months ago (I am 5.11). Left scar looks attached to the muscle. My boobs look good when I’m relaxed, but when I activate my chest muscle, the scar moves with it. No pain, the scar is hard tho on that part. I’ve been doing massages but is not improving. Can I correct that with surgery? I’m unhappy with that. Also, I feel like they haven’t dropped yet. They look so round on the top part… will get better? More drop shape? Thank you

Dear Nice412218,
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.

Your implants have dropped, but do appear somewhat large for your frame. The scar can be released from the muscle. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing your concerns.
