Do I need a revision? (Photo)

Question

Hello everyone, I am 8 weeks post op. I recently had a donut lift with 400cc. Due to fear of scarring and my first time having surgery I chose the donut route. Within the first few weeks I’ve noticed my breast have dropped a lot. I personally feel they are still saggy. I was told to not wear a bra or anything my first few weeks post op. Should I start saving for a revision or wait for improvement in 6 months? Thanks.

Dear Stacy.Mays,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.You will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

You need to wait and let your tissue heal before considering anything. Please discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.

Based upon the posted photos you have 2 surgical options. 1. Larger implants in the 600+ cc ranges. 2. Full lift with possible inverted T scars. Best to seek in person or virtual consults with...

From what I can see in your photographs you have an excellent result from a donut mastopexy. I see what looks to be your wish picture as the last uploaded. Unfortunately that is an unrealistic expectation for a result.

I hope you can find confidence that your result is excellent and move on.
