Breast lift botch - what can be done to fix this situation? (Photo)

Question

What can be done to fix this situation?! One nipple is smaller, not circular in shape and higher up than the other side. I am so upset.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

I would need to make measurements to know for sure but it appears that your breasts were not lifted as high up as they should have been. You also have some bottoming out of one side. A revision would be required.

Dear jess3van,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

A revision is needed in order to correct the issues that you mentioned.  You may also want to consider autoaugmentation.  This approach uses your own tissue to give more upper pole fullness.  This is not a fat transfer.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

How long has it been since your surgery? It appears you still have some bruising. Generally speaking, please allow about 6 months of recovery before considering corrective surgery. If it has been that long, please discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Another breast lift may need to be performed to even out asymmetry and reshape your breast.

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

An in person consultation would be important to allow measurements of the skin distances on your breast to see whether the right breast, nipple/areolar complex could be moved upward slightly to more closely match the left side. In addition, it would be important to know whether the left nipple complex could potentially be enlarged during the revision 2 more closely match the right side. improvement could likely be made but exact symmetry may not be achieved.

Carlos Marciales, MD · Answer

You will need a secondary breast lift, reduction of your areola, the vertical scar it’s to long also you need to make that small.
