How can this botched breast lift be fixed? Will they be able to lift scar up? (Photos)

Question

My surgeon lifted one of my breasts without moving my aerola and left the bottom scar in a place that is way lower than the other breast. That’s not a normal procedure right? If I go for a revision with the same surgeon or another, will they be able to lift the bottom lined scar up to where the one on the other breast is? Im afraid the the skin where the scar is cant stretch enough to do that

From your submitted photos it appears you are a candidate for a scar revision.  During this procedure the widened scar tissue is removed.  The asymmetry that concerns you is influenced by one breast fold being higher than the other.  Your surgeon can discuss options with you to address this.

Dear bellaluna123,
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.

Please repost your photos showing your whole chest and arms down by your sides. Have someone or something else hold the camera. Scars can be revised and sometimes raised. They do need to be in the breast fold.
