Can someone please tell me if this nightmare be fixed?

Question

I went in for a breast lift with implant exchange. I provided a wish photo that I was led to believe was achievable. My results are disastrous. I understand the squareness may round out, but the side tissue, which she first called breast tissue, then changed to say it was chest wall tissue, she said won't change and blamed me for not telling her I wanted my chest wall taken care of. To me it's breast tissue because it's on the side of my breast. Can someone please tell me if this can be fixed?

Good morning,
You certainly don't look anything like your goal photo- and it will take a lot to get you there- first you need a dramatic reduction, including extending the scar laterally under your arms to get rid of all of that extra tissue. Then 6 months later I would come back and perform the Original Internal Bra and place overfilled saline implants. That is the solution that will get you closest to your goal photo.

Dear rpsco2020,
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.
