I have 2 different size breasts with the right being the smallest tight and tubular. Is revision an option? (Photos)

Question

Had implant removal ( texturised under muscle) and lift in 2019. As my right breast was also bigger a reduction was done on this breast. I now have 2 different size breasts with the right  being the smallest tight and tubular. The fold is also higher than on the left. Is revision an option? Thank you

Your right breast is smaller and the areola is lower.  I recommend you undergo fat transfer to the smaller breast and possible revision of the lift.  I would not do anything to your left breast.  Your breasts are not tubular.

Best Wishes,

Dear Elfien,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

You do not have a tubular breast, but your left is larger. You can have a small reduction on the left to match your right, or a fat transfer to the right.  The right nipple area also could be raised to match the left.

Dear Elfien,
Thank you for your question and your photo. Yes, revision of your results from surgery three years ago can clearly be done. You can exchange your implant out on the right for a larger implant and an adjustment made on the fold as well. I encourage you to seek out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to do a complete history and physical with a plan developed to meet your goals.
I hope you find this helpful and wish you the best.
