So now what? Disappointed 5 months after lift with augmentation (Photos)

#Breastlift and #implants, any breast operation, can result in changes in sensation of the nipples and around other areas where the procedure took place. Larger implants and more aggressive lift methods may have more of a problem.Healing after #breastimplant surgery will go on for 2-3 months for the early period. There may be some swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation will be abnormal. Scars will be changing. #Hypertrophic or #keloid scars can be a problem. The worst are usually under the breast with an #AnchorLift or inverted “T”. These can be treated like all thickened scars with re-excision, laser, kenalog/5-FU injections, creams, silicone strips and other methods to reduce and improve healing.If my patients have concerns that something is unusual about their healing process, it is important for them to call the office and discuss these concerns or come in to be examined. Since you are past the basic healing period it would be best to visit your surgeon to have the area examined and find out whether revision is needed or if there is just more healing time in progress.

Thanks for the question. 5 months is too early to say something. 6-12 months is enough time to see the permanent results for the breast lift operation. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question.  If a person's skin has poor elasticity, no matter how tight and lifted it is initially after surgery, it will relax afterward.  The pencil test is not always a realistic gauge of a successful operation.  However if you are wondering about your options you could certainly discuss secondary procedures with your surgeon.
