Not happy with breast aug. Loose skin makes my breast look deformed.

Question

Hello I had a breast argumentation over one year ago however, I am not happy with the extra skin around the nipple area making my breasts look deformed especially when the muscle is flexed. My doctor said he would want to do a periareolar mastopexy - minor donut. Would this be considered a secondary surgery to the breast aug? I was told I didn’t need a lift or I would have gotten it when I got the implants in. Thank you

I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your breast augmentation.  The only person who can answer your question is your surgeon. You can also get another 2nd opinion from a different surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes .

Dear Nice153977,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated. Unfortunately without photographs nor knowledge of the exact procedure you had performed it is difficult to offer advice. If you are questioning your doctors decision, seek out second opinions from board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

It is difficult to determine what the issue is without photographs. Nevertheless, if you are not satisfied with your results or the recommendations of your plastic surgeon, it would probably benefit you to seek a second opinion form another board certified plastic surgeon in your area. An in-person consultation will give you a much clearer picture of available options.

Best of luck-

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your breast augmentation results.  Photographs or an exam is needed to determine if a donut mastopexy would be recommended for you.  Be sure that you understand the pros and cons of this procedure before proceeding.  It is a secondary procedure that is separate from breast augmentation.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You probably needed a lift with the initial surgery and still need the lift.  This is not revisional surgery, but just finishing what was lacking.
