Explant with breast lift. I feel like I have so much extra skin above my nipples. Do I need a revision?

Question

Had my implants explanted with a breast lift. I knew I wouldn't have upper pole fullness and was ok with that. I feel like I have so much extra skin above my nipples still. All the photos I have seen of lifts never have all that skin still. Does it look like I need a revision?

Dear Ktaylor30,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went 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.

You did not send photos, so I cannot comment about your breasts or what is needed to be done. Go back to your surgeon and discuss your concerns.
