Would a revision fix this with a lift or an I stuck with this outcome? (photos)

Dear Original540941,
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.

Thank you for your questions, and I am sorry to hear you are having pain and unhappy with your results. It is difficult to say exactly what is causing the pain you are having, but it sounds like to may be due to the symmastia correction which can be difficult to correct. Perhaps a smaller or different shape implant may help as well. A breast lift will reposition the nipple and areola so that it lies centrally over the breast. Be sure to see an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can see, examine and discuss with you your surgery options as well as followup for the best results.

All the best,
Benjamin J. Cousins MD
