Bad breast shape. Do I need a revision or will the shape change in time? (Photo)

Question

I am not happy with the shape of my breast. Also sutures lines seem not in correct line. Do you think that I need revision or the shape will change in time? Thank

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @Ppearl thank you for your question and showing your pictures. This type of change after breast surgery requires a new intervention to improve the projection and shape of the breasts. Reconstructive surgeries allow the correction of shape, projection and volume of the breast as well as the complete revision of the scar, making it clear that the healing processes are inherent to each patient and her lifestyle. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

I’m sorry to hear that you are not happy with the results. Did your pre-operative symptoms improve??? How long ago was your surgery??? Usually, is good to wait at least 9-12 months before deciding if a revision is needed. I recommend to further discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon who can formulate a plan for you. But definitely, allow additional time before making any decisions.

Dear Ppearl,
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.

You will want to wait at least six months from your surgery to see your final results.  If you are still unhappy a revision can be performed to help improve the shape.  You may want to consider autoaugmentation to give you more upper pole fullness.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Reach out to your surgeon with your  concerns. Schedule an appointment to have your breast looked at and to discuss a possible revision. Best wishes!

Dear, it depends on the post-operative time what you have, it may change if you are less than 6 months old it will change..
If you are more than 6 months or 8 months old, unfortunately it is not likely that they will change.
