Hello, I am looking to see what can be done to fix my breast lift. It is as if the skin was pulled to tight and now there is puckering and a flap or second breast beneath my right breast and the other is much bigger with similar issues and more puckering. Thank you

Answer: Puckering & a flap - can my breast lift be corrected? Hello @dreamer2, thank you for your question. In your case, there is a double breast mammary fold that needs to be corrected. This requires a complete revision of your surgery so that the underlying issues can be resolved. It is important that you have a consultation with a board certified specialist to determine a surgical plan according to your needs. It is essential that you consult with a plastic surgeon who has experience with this procedure if you are considering breast revision surgery to ensure optimal results. Best wishes!

Answer: The 'Lollypop Lift' A perennial problem with a vertical lift, aka 'lollypop lift', is that in some individuals there is too much skin in the vertical vector (direction) that was not or could not be adequately addressed. This leads to the 'flap' at the bottom of the breast where the vertical scar ends. As the breast implants drop and fluff, usually after 3 to 6 months, the flattened and pleated lower pole fills out to a more normal curve, almost always eliminating the pleating (your pleating is partially due to stretchmarks though). Once you've reached the 6 month mark, you can assess the shape to determine if that 'flap' is still present. If so, then you will need a minor revision to excise that flap of skin, leaving you with an small anchor scar pattern.
