Left breast has seemed misshapen and off since surgery, what can I do? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast lift with implants 12 years ago and had a revision done at the end of may this year. My doctor is great, he’s on here actually so hopefully I can get his opinion as wellon these pictures. I have felt like my left breast has been misshapen since having the procedure done and my right breast implant is stuck. This was part of the reason I wanted another surgery, to fix the previous implant that felt stuck and now I have issues with both. What can I do to fix this at this point?

One breast is higher than the other.  It is possible that you can revise the inframammary scar to make it more symmetrical.  This can be done now as it has been long enough.

Right now, you give yourself time to heal and let the swelling subside. Once you are at 6 months, then the one breast can be revised if needed.

There appears to be some slight skin redundancy at the base of your left breast. I don’t know what type of mastopexy you had but it looks like you could benefit from having some skin removed along the inframammary fold on the left side.
It’s difficult to give you a quality assessment based on limited information. I suggest you follow up with your provider. If you’re not getting the care you need from him or her the schedule if you in person second opinion consultations.
