In need of a breast lift revision? (photos)

Thank you for your question regarding what to do about whether a breast lift revision is needed. In my opinion, I would suggest another breast lift. Since you did not include your preoperative pictures, it is difficult to say if there was a significant improvement. However, I imagine there was a significant improvement. However, moving forward for your best results, I would suggest a small implant to reestablish upper pull breast volume in addition to a breast lift. In your case, since we need a definitive lift and revision, I would suggest an anchor-type lift. The incision would go around the areola, down the front of the breast, and underneath the breast. This will achieve maximum lift and fullness to the breast. If you just do another breast lift or mastopexy, you will lack upper pull volume. Thank you for your question regarding whether you need a breast lift revision.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

To substantially improve the outcome of your surgery will require a revision. Discuss options with your surgeon.

It appears that the limited scarring gave you a limited lift. You will need at least a vertical lift to reshape and tighten your breasts.
