I realize an in-person consult is better than a photo, but input would be appreciated. Before pic is 510 cc saline implants, under the muscle. After pic is 3 month’s post op full anchor lift with 300 cc saline implants. My breasts look uneven to me and one is sagging more than the other, scars and areolas are also uneven. My doc knew I wanted high, tight, and nipples centered. I’m very disappointed with my results. Do I need more tissue removed from the left? Another lift?

Answer: Revision breast lift Cases like yours are why I use mesh. You wanted smaller higher breasts and not to have to wear a bra. You now have smaller, still droopy breasts. Galaflex or other mesh used in a revision should help you accomplish your goals. The skin alone cant support the implants. The Galaflex acts as an internal bra and keeps the breasts supported.We are posting some of these cases on IG under sanctuaryplasticsurgery if interested

Answer: Do I need another lift? Thanks for writing,The first thing I would suggest to you is, the breasts are sisters not twins. You can see this in your pre-op photo. The 510cc implants weigh over a pound each and that weight is constantly pulling and stretching you skin and breasts because gravity works 24 hours per day. With the new smaller implants and a lift some of the weak skin is removed but not all of it, as a result you skin may and has re-stretched. It appears your surgeon did a very nice job. You might want to let the skin and breasts stretch as much as they are going to and then a revision may be necessary, this will remove more of the damaged skin. Over all I think the improvement it very nice and over the long term you will do well. Be patient, follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon’s post-op instructions carefully and completely.Stephen M.
