I had a breast lift performed on 2/3/16 and I'm pretty disappointed with the outcome. I hate looking at my breasts because of the visible scars. The dog ear on the inside of the left breast has had one revision done on it, but it's still there. The left breast isn't shaped as well as the right - the fullness is at the outer bottom, dragging down the breast and making it flatter than the right breast. Can these issues be corrected through revision surgery and how do I find a competent surgeon?

Answer: Can a revision be done to hide/move anchor scars so they won't be visible from the front and side views of the breasts? Hello! Thank you for your question! I am sorry to hear of your complaints following your procedure. Incisions are designed to be inconspicuous and hidden within folds, creases, etc., in order to conceal the scars as best possible. Such incisions are attempted to be designed withing the inframammary fold, with good planning. Certainly, breasts may bottom-out, which results in an inadvertent "high-riding incision", but usually over time, and not immediately post-procedure. It does appear that a revision of your bilateral breasts would meet your expectations for improved shape and better placement of your incisions. I would discuss any concerns with your surgeon. Consideration for a scar revision may be entertained after several months' time to better hide your incisions, if desired. Hope that this helps.

Answer: Unaesthetic Outcome to Breast Augmentation Hello,There absolutely is a way to hide those scars better. Your result is not the norm, but it can be fixed. You are now four months from your procedure, and should be nearly healed. Although it is merely arbitrary, 6 months would probably be safe to have a revision. The surgery would involve removing both skin and tissue again in a way that would reposition your inframammary scar into the inframammary crease.Please visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in revision breast surgery.Best of luck!
