Question

I had a lift and implants done 10/31/22, I made sure to mention I wanted upper pole fullness so I wouldn’t need to find the perfect push up bra. I wanted the roundness, defined look up top. After they’ve settled, they hang low and I have no cleavage up top. The lift left parts of my aereola on my scars, so I look like Frankenstein. Dr wanted me to give him an additional $1200 for revision. Not happy at all.

You actually have a good result except for the dark vertical scar. That is very easy to correct with a scar revision under local anesthesia. I would not even charge for such a revision but each surgeon deals with this differently.

Dear MHenry1292,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Greetings, 
I am sorry to hear that you have not had the outcome with your breast lifts and implants that you expected. Your follow-up consultation with your original plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns resulted in the suggestion that you have a revision.

This is a reasonable option, if your expectations can be met with a second surgery.  The scarring that occurs with lifts can often be improved with a touch up surgery.

Also, a second opinion may give you peace of mind and help you to decide how to proceed.

Best Regards,
