I had a breast augmentation where he was just supposed to bring my nipples down since they were too high. He chose to make long incisions through the bottom of the breast and now I have huge scars that my breasts aren’t big enough to cover. I also have wrinkling.
Answer: Breasts Your nipples are probably in the correct place, but your breast implants are sitting too low and possibly some breast tissue is well. This can be lift by raising the inferior pocket internally.

Answer: Revision surgery and fat grafting would solve your problem Thank you for your question. It looks that your nipple issue is due to an inferior malposition of the implants. Scars can be hidden under the inframammary folds by moving the implants upward a bit with revision surgery. Scar revision surgery may be necessary for the severe parts of scars. Rippling may be improved by moving the implants upwards a little. I recommend fat grafting on the thin tissue areas to make wrinkling less visible.

Answer: Bottoming Out / The Original Internal Bra Good afternoon, You have bottoming out, and the common mistake is that you can just cut out a huge strip of inframammary crease and fix it- WRONG! Bottoming out is a pocket problem, not a skin problem- you can make that crease scar as long as you like and cut out as much skin as you like and you will NEVER fix it from the outside. I developed a technique over 20 years ago I call the Original Internal Bra (because there have been many copycats since then). It is a strong, permanent internal suturing technique which actually permanently corrects bottoming out. Today it is the most common revision I perform, at least 5-6 times a week- it works and it lasts! I can't take away those unfortunate scars that your surgeon didn't know any better than to give you, but I can tuck them away in the breast folds so you can't really see them.

Answer: Revision You can undergo revision of the scars to move them more into the fold which will also excise some skin to help pull the breasts down. At the same time, you can undergo a circumareola incision to pull the nipple-areola complex lower. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Nipple asymmetry Dear Lozcurtis, 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.
