Asymmetry and dimpling after breast reduction - Is another surgery my best option? (Photos)

As your surgeon suggested, I think your best answer is to have this addressed surgically. Six months is a reasonable time frame to make those decisions and plan to move forward with corrective surgery. Convey your specific desires with your surgeon. Go over everything in detail during the preop visit prior to the next surgery.

Thank you for your query. I agree with your surgeon. While a revision will be able to address most of your issues, a minor difference in size and symmetry is universal and will be there even after a revision. The revision is likely to be a shorter procedure than your initial surgery. Also you can wait to see if there there are any further changes, as tissues settle down by one year. All the best!

I understand how frustrating this must feel, especially after going through surgery with the hope of achieving a more balanced look. From what you’ve described, it sounds like the left breast may have experienced some tissue loss due to reduced blood flow, causing that puckered, dimpled area. Meanwhile, the right breast has become larger and appears uneven, possibly due to swelling or leftover tissue.

Dr. Caner suggests that corrective surgery could help even things out. The plan would include:
Left Breast: Restoring volume and smoothing the dimpled area with fat grafting or tissue adjustment.
Right Breast: Reducing and reshaping the breast to better match the left side.
While it’s understandable to feel hesitant about another procedure, many patients find that revision surgery can significantly improve both appearance and comfort. Let me know how you’re feeling about it — I’m here to answer any questions.

Personally I don't think your larger breast is growing but I think after ll the settling and swelling has happened after 6 months you are aware of the asymmetry with one being larger. I think it is just that more tissue needs to be removed from this breast and the only way to do that is to return to the operating room and reduce the breast some more to make it match your other breast.

As for the scarring it is probably related to some ischemia there and scar contracture that should be able to be corrected with a scar revision in this area. Otherwise you have a nice result and a nice shape to your breasts.

I don't think anything wrong or bad was done but we cannot always get the symmetry the way we want it and occasionally we have to go back to the operating room to take more form one breast. It is not common but it has happened to me as well and if it is bothering you than have it corrected. There is very little downside or risk to having it done and you don't want to feel unhappy with your breasts so I would do it. It sounds like you have a caring surgeon and I am sure she would be happy to help you.

In order to address the concerns you mentioned, a revision is the way to do it. There are risks and benefits to every surgery. Only you can determine if correction of the concerns outweighs any potential negatives from surgery. If you are unsure about the advice of your surgeon you can visit with another board certified plastic surgeon near you for a second opinion.

A revision would be the best thing to do to get the shape you want. If you gained weight or added hormones, your breast can enlarge.
