Lift and symmastia repair (Photo)

Imaginative914619Aug 22, 2023
I had symmastia from a breast augmentation over 20 years ago. I recently had the implants replaced, a lift, and the symmastia repaired. Overall, I'm very happy with the results. I think my doctor did a great job repairing the symmastia. The right breast has some puckering along the suture line, and a bit of puckering near the crease. Does that usually resolve? Also, there's some assymetry between left and right. Will the appearance change much over time? It's been 5 weeks.
