I got a breast reduction when I was 18.I was a 36H. Post surgery I ended up w/ lots of scarring, large areolas & asymmetrical nipples. I'm so insecure about them. Im 26 and thinking to get breast reconstruction surgery.my questions are: By the pictures, do you think I got botched? Would you suggest breast reconstruction surgery or breast augmentation surgery? Not sure if I'll have kids, but should I wait to see if do before the surgery? Any other additional information is MUCH appreciated ☺️

Answer: Breast reconstruction Thanks for your question, snowbunny88. To be honest, I don’t think that you had a botched surgery. Maybe you and your former plastic surgeon haven’t really discussed and managed your expectations when it came to breast reduction. Scarring is also highly dependent on genetics and ethnicity, so the amount varies from person to person. Anyway, if you want to make your breasts perkier, I suggest doing a breast augmentation with lift instead of breast reconstruction surgery. It all depends on what you want to achieve. It’s always better to wait until you have kids, but skilled surgeons will make sure that you’re still able to breastfeed even after your surgery if that’s your concern. It’s best to go to a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon for a personal evaluation. Best of luck!

Answer: Reduction revision It sounds like you are interested in revising your breast reduction. You can have the areolae reduced again, to about 4 cm, excess skin from the bottom of the breast removed and the scars revised. This will make your breasts more lifted, improve the shape and make them look younger. It is not possible to do surgery without scars, and healing has many factors. I think you can proceed now with a revision to create breasts you are happy with. I wouldn't recommend implants unless you want to go up a cup size or more. Best wishes.
