15 months post-op from breast reduction. Was I botched?

Thanks for your question! I do think there are things that could be safely improved upon. I would suggest getting a second opinion in person for your best options. Good luck!

Dear hustlerose,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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 your query. Some hypertrophy of scars is not unusual and may need some local treatment. The unevenness of nipple areola complex (not seen in the pictures clearly) can be addressed with a relatively minor procedure. The indentation is the most obvious contour deformity and will need scar revision/ correction. Although you do need some corrections I would not say that your surgery was “botched”. All the best

Hi, I can understand your concern with the appearance of your breast following your reduction.
However this tethering can happen at the triple point. I have seen it in my own patients and also in consultation from some of the top plastic surgeons around.
This happens when the tissue at the triple point is thin or scars down fat grafting can help with this however may take a number of sessions to improve.
The areola shape is less than ideal and may be able to be improved with tattooing
The Incisions in the breast fold can be revised to improve the appearance.
Hope this helps

You were not botched. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns. All these things can be revised in the office under local anesthesia.

From the submitted photos it appears your concerns can be addressed with minor revisions. As you only submitted photos of one breast at a time an in person evaluation is needed to determine recommendations for nipple asymmetry. It certainly doesn't appear you were "botched". Scar revision will help with many of the concerns you mentioned.

Photos show poorly done breast reduction. Only re operation can correct. Fee from $8,000. Best yo virtual consult with…….
