Previously had a breast augmentation and unilateral lift. Explanted 2022 and had a scar revision under local. I was pretty upset with my BA journey with my previous surgeon and just wanted it all to be over with. I was also pretty unhappy with my results. Looking to reimplant with a new surgeon. Do you think I have enough tissue to go over the muscle with a low profile or low profile plus implant? Is it also worth undergoing an areola reduction to help with symmetry? Thank you!

Answer: Revision Don't cheat yourself with a circumareolar reduction; by revising the vertical scar too you'll have the best chance at soft tissue symmetry. If you really didn't want to go subpectoral (again?), you could consider subfacial, but you risk implant visibility or palpability early in the post surgical period.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery, and I have been in practice almost 30 years. Please do not make a bad situation worse by placing implants on top of the muscle. I have a whole gallery of poor outcomes from chronic changes associated with implants on top of the muscle. You have a fairly straightforward and easy fix in someone who is experienced with Breast revisions. Whoever did your surgery was Not talented. You should be able to have an excellent outcome. Best wishes to you.
