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?

Your scars can be revised. During the healing from the reduction, swelling was placing some strain on your scars. With just the revision, there will be much less swelling and strain and your scars should heal better. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your options.
You have hypertrophic scars, widened nipples and areolas, significant asymmetry and sagging. You may be eligible for another breast reduction to improve the symmetry, size, and scars.
