A to DD cup, advice on scar revision required & squaring after anchor lift, implants & fat transfer? (Photos)

Question

I'm 9 months PO (breast lift with impants & fat transfer) a tuberous A cup to full DD cup. Had an anchor lift, 1 week PO left nipple area got infected, stitches split and had quite a traumatic 3-4 months of wound care/tissue damage. Worst on picture 1. Looks better now (pic 2), but Ieft with scarring. My left nipple looks more inflamed and a different colour to my right. The left breast is also more square. Used silicone tapes for 6 months. What next steps can I take? Thanks!

Dear Karlicall,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering treatment or scar revision, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've experienced during your post-operative period. Given the specific details of your case, it's important to consult with your plastic surgeon, as they will have the best understanding of your situation and can provide personalized advice. Your surgeon may suggest other treatments such as laser therapy or corticosteroid injections to treat the scars or scar revision surgery. They can examine your nipple closely to determine if there are any underlying issues that need to be addressed. Concerning the square appearance of your left breast or notice significant asymmetry, your surgeon may discuss potential options for further improvement. This could involve revision surgery to address the shape, positioning, or size of the implants.

If you remain dissatisfied after discussing your concerns with your initial surgeon, it might be beneficial to seek a second opinion from another qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. They can provide an independent evaluation of your situation and offer alternative treatment options or recommendations.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

The scar could be revised and micro-needling can be helpful for scars. for added color, consider cosmetic, not artistic tattooing.
