I am 2 years post op of getting my breast reduction surgery covered by my insurance. Less than a month after the surgery my skin started bleeding and the surgeon diagnosed me with wound dehiscence. It was treated and closed up but after letting them settle 6 months to 1 year later I also noticed that the shape was very uneven. I am also on a weight loss journey and worried about how my breast will look after. What can be done to improve my breast appearance after I reach my of losing 20-30 lbs?
Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! After you have completed your weight loss journey, I think you can consult with a surgeon regarding a breast lift/breast reduction revision to get you more symmetry, perkier breasts and a prettier shape. If you are looking to add volume, perhaps even an implant. Good luck!

Answer: Breast reduction Hello Jackie.First it is very important to loose all the weight you are planing to. Stabilize on your weight. Then we can determine what your expectations are, if you want to improve shape, size and/or assymetries.You will probably need a lift and reduction to achieve better symmetry and shape. We can sometimes use small implants to improve shape and upper pole proyection.

Answer: Revision Breast Reduction Breast reduction can sometimes have relapse and asymmetries with body composition change and time. You could have revision with essentially a complete or partial recreation of your initial procedure within the existing scar pattern that already exists to achieve improved symmetry of the breast mound and areolar contour (ie, make your size and position more similar nipple-areolar shape). This would give some lift to the breast as well. Something to consider.

Answer: Secondary reduction or breast lift In order to correct current asymmetry, second breast lift/reduction will be neded. Weight loss and poor skin tone will influence longevity of result, in particular if you had very large, heavy breast before reduction. Good luck.
