Can chest be corrected after botched periareolar surgery? (photo)

Question

I had hematoma. The doctor did not drain it. 1.5 years later I am seeking revisional surgery. I am happy with the left side. I am frustrated and ashamed by the right side. Can this be corrected? What kind of procedure will this be? Do I have to do periareolar again?

Dear lightning06,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

From the photos it appears a revision would improve your results.  A periareolar incision would be necessary in order to remove the excess tissue and allow the area to lay flat.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Yes, more skin can be removed and more tissue as well. Please go for a consult with a plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.
