Puckering & a flap - can my breast lift be corrected? (Photos)

You have a common problem seen after a breast lift is done with only a vertical incision.
Correction would involve a horizontal incision in the breast fold in order to excise the excess tissue

Hello! To think in a breast correction, first we should wait for at least 8 months from the first surgery. If after that the breast still has this issue, a breast correction can be done. We would have to re do all the scars and shorten the vertical scar and adjust better all the skin and breast tissue.

Hi dreamer2,
The photos are very helpful. It appears that your surgeon used a vertical or lollipop pattern, with out a horizontal scar. This minimizes the incision length, but as you see, can produce some initial abnormal contours in the lower pole of the breast. This vertical type technique typically creates an upside down looking breast initially, with the expectation that the breasts will settle over time to better fill the lower pole skin.
I would definitely suggest discussing these concerns with your surgeon.
If the breast does not settle like you would prefer, and specifically if the distance from the nipple to fold remains long, a horizontal or right to left incision, placed under the breast in the inframammary fold, could improve the situation.
Hope this helps.
Best,
