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

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

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.

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.

Measurements are needed to be sure, but based on your photos, your breast appear to naturally sit somewhat low on your chest. The base of your breasts cannot be moved. Some women cannot have high sitting breasts.

It would help if you had 2-6 week post op photos to see how high or tight the breasts were. Now it seems that you would get upper pole fullness if you had another mastopexy.
In your surgeons defense, I have had. Few patients over the years who stretched out considerably postop and required revisions.
Best wishes
