Follow up: did my surgeon do a bad job or am I expecting too much? Can I get different results? (Photos)

Question

My Dr. claims he lifted them as high as possible but because of skin quality and undense breast tissue they sag. I think he didn’t lift them up very high but I am also not a surgeon so it is hard to know if I’m right here. did he truly not lift them high enough/do his job? I just don’t want to go through this again and get the same results because he is right and this is how my body will always respond. Is it possible to get the lift I want or will even the best surgeon produce results like this

I don’t have the advantage of seeing before photos. It looks pretty good. I would need to take exact measurements to determine if nipple placement is correct

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You may be a candidate for a repeat lift using The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello, thank you for your question. Over time with gravity and the weight of breast tissues on the skin, sagging is inevitable. It usually happens over time and we strongly advise always wearing a good supportive bra. Sometimes we remove breast tissues to help remove some of the weight on the skin. Of course this would mean smaller breasts.

Hello @Plucky76076, thank you for your question. It is important to develop a surgical plan that fits your possibilities, to fulfill your wishes for improvement and to take into account what can actually be achieved. Is best if consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and recommendations. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Dear Plucky76076,
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.
