What is this indent on right vertical anchor lift scar? Plus uneven nipples.

March 13, 2019
Asked By:brittbuck in Philadelphia, PA

I had a breast life with implants done 8 months ago (6/30/18). On my right breast I have an indent where the stitches were from the anchor lift (vertical). How long does it typically take for this to even out? I'm hoping as it evens out that implant will drop a little more to help bring that nipple higher so it can be more even with my left nipple. Is this something that typically can get better with time or would a revision be needed?

Thanks for the question. 2 months is too early to say something. 6-12 months is enough time to see the permanent results for the breast lift with implants operation. I wish you all the best.

I've read that using large implants could result in a wider scar. What size implants will worsen breast lift scars?
Eric Swanson, MD says:

You are fine having 400 cc implants. That's about average size in my practice. The anchor scar type of breast lift is not ideal. There is too much scarring and the breasts tend to look boxy. The vertical lift is better. I call it an "all seasons vertical augmentation mastopexy." Many plastic...
