I’m 18 months post op breast lift surgery and I’m thinking of getting a revision. I love where my nipples are placed considering where they were before, however the lower part of my breast is square shaped, plus I have horrible widespread keloid scarring I’ve been treating with laser and injections that really did not exceed my expectations after a few sessions. I’m using silicone gel, and doing everything I can to minimize the scarring. What should I do?
Answer: Revision surgery breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Answer: Post scar revision care should include a scar serum along with proper laser treatments and minimizing tension caused to breasts Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and RF therapy to help reduce the longterm effects of the scarring. Keloids, hypertrophic scars, widened scars, red scars, and hyperpigmented scars all require scar modulation with topical creams followed by lasers and RF therapy. Topical skincare should be directed to a specific need, whether for pigmentation or hypertrophy and our office can guide you through the process to obtain the correct Plato’s Scar cream or Melarase cream for hypertrophy and discoloration. In terms of lasers, we would employ the vbeam laser for redness, Venus Viva RF, PRP microneedling, chemical peels, and Morpheus 8, fractional erbium, or fractional co2. All of these have their individual benefits. Most of all, we recommend you visit a solid plastic surgeon who understands surgical scar revision, laser therapy, and RF therapy for scars.

Answer: Revision In order to address your concerns you will need to consider a revision. The scars will be revised as part of the procedure. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to begin this process. A lift revision will provide you with improvement in shape, nipple position, and scar revision.

Answer: Lift The lower incision can be revised and remove some excess skin to tighten, and even some excess breast to help minimize sagging again. If you have actual keloids and not just hypertrophic scarring, radiation post surgery can be done to help. Your photos don't show keloids.

Answer: Bellesoma Method Your results are typical of the anchor technique. I recommend The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.
