Is it standard industry practice to pay surgical fees for a revision if I'm not happy with the original results?

Yes, you should be expected to pay for this surgery since it is a different procedure than the reduction, plus there are new fees of the surgery center and anesthesia. Look in your paperwork from the original procedure to see if revision for the procedure you had has a fee or reduced fee. Your surgeon can tighten your lower pocket to help lower your nipples. Adding implants is a completely different procedure than the one you had.

Hello, I do agree that you are experience pseudo-ptosis; where tissues bottom out and nipple areolar complexes raise higher. Every surgeon will address revisions differently. Depending on the scenario, I will always work hard, many times for free to ensure that a patient is happy. It is very likely that you signed consent paperwork stating that there is risk of healing complications and unsatisfactory results. Good look on you revision journey.

Your results are typical with the anchor incision technique. At this time, you will need a revision and possibly fat transfer or small implants placed to create the upper pole fullness that was not achieved with the anchor incision. Your surgeon should give you a discount since this is a complication from the technique he selected.
