You should let the breast finish healing for a few more weeks, but I think you will need a revision.I wonder if this was caused by trying to use a vertical incision only? I think a careful revision of the entire inframammary fold bilaterally could greatly improve your outcome. Good luck.

It is very difficult to comment without seeing your preops. It is likely you had a lot of excess skin and the remaining breast tissue has been elevated as much as possible. It will still take a few months for the breast to drop and fill out the excess skin and some of the excess skin will reduce on its own. You may well need to have a scar revision longer term but things will continue to improve over the coming months. I would not recommend any further surgery for at least another 6 months. Stay in contact with your PS.

It is early in the healing and the loose skin on the sides may improve as the breasts settle. If not a small skin excision along the fold may improve this.
