In the past I had a unilateral reduction to fix asymmetry. The surgeon removed too much fat and the other breast drooped more. This surgeon's way of fixing the breast that drooped more was removing excess skin from the bottom part of my breast and not lifting the areola. Because of this he left a horizontal scar below my inframammary fold and the breast always remained droopy. Can that breast even get a proper breast lift now with the location of the horizontal scar so low?
Answer: Remeasuring will be required. Measurements of your left breast should be done from the bottom of your areola down to your fold. The same measurements should then be created on the opposite side. This may require additional skin resection and other skin tightening in order to create a symmetric result. There should be no need to lower the fold on your right side if this was the position of your original fold. If one of the contributing factors to you having a breast which settled to low is your lack of skin elasticity and strength, a scaffolding such as GalAflex can be sutured into the breast that helps support the position of the breast with the breast lift. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Secondary Push-up Lift The distance between areola and inframamary fold seems to be longer than normal, and right breast seems saggy again. With the lack of upper pole fullness, a revision breast lift with Push-up Lift can be performed without resecting any breast tissue and keeping your breast volume. Your scars may be revised during the procedure also.

Answer: Breast lift I believe the best way to achieve symmetry in the short term and for the long term is to do the same thing on both sides. The same lift scar configuration with the same measurements, the same amount of breast tissue, and when implants are involved the same size implant on each side. Still, over time asymmetry may develop as the chest wall the breasts are sitting on is asymmetric and skin and tissue differences cause each side to age differently. My recommendation for you is bilateral mastopexy revision.

Answer: Scar revision, donut mastopexy and fat transfers At this time, you would benefit from scar revision and donut mastopexy. However, fat transfers would most likely help you the most, particularly with the upper pole of the hanging breast. The scar revision would result in a more narrow scar in the inframammary fold. Also, the fat transfers would create upper pole fullness to give more attractive looking breasts.
