Worried after breast revision surgery. Will this improve? (photos)

Question

I had breast reduction surgery 3 years ago and ended up with undesired results. Two months ago I had a revision surgery with a visiting doctor who left the country. I’m currently following up with another doctor but I’m not sure I’m receiving the best care. Four weeks after surgery, I started using silicone sheets for 12 hours and bio oil the rest of the day. I’m really worried, are my areolas and breast contour going to improve or this is the final result?

Dear patmc196,Thank you for your question. After two months your contour and swelling my improve marginally, but not significantly. Any scarring you have may improve over the next 8-12 months. You can use silicone sheeting which can sometimes help.Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Your results at this early stage look significantly better than before.  You are prone to poor scarring, so definitely keep using the silicone - possibly for 6 months or so will still help.  Your shape will change over the next few months, but not alot.  Continue to see the surgeon you have been referred to.  All the best
