3 months post op. Breast lift with implants. I’ve been told by my PS that the implants can take up to 6 months to settle and take shape. But as you can clearly see the left breast is a lot lower and a different shape than the right. Do I have to wait 6 months for surgery revision??

Answer: Surgical revision post breast aug pexy It would be best for you to wait because at that point the scar tissue around the implants is mature enough to hold sutures to better shape the breast pockets. You have significant asymmetry - sometimes this is a baseline issue and may need to be further refined. Consider your options with the revision surgery. You may want to seek a second opinion with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.Best of luck!

Answer: Revision post breast surgery I think it is really important to wait for at least 6 months and assess change then.Ideally no further surgery will be required but we always have to receive judgement - patience is key though to making the right decisions and if you try to operate again too early then paradoxically further problems can be created. It is difficult to see from your photos but did you have a periareolar procedure too and did you have asymmetry pre-operative and similar height nipples?Good luck!
