Uneven breast lift - can it be fixed? (Photo)

Dear jazz1122,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Although a removal and lift can be combined during the same procedure, I recommend to patients that they first remove the implants and let the breasts completely heal before embarking on a breast lift. This approach establishes the true new baseline to then plan for a lift. It also shows the surgeon and the patient the differences between the right and left breast. Some of these asymmetries can be fully corrected and some cannot be fully corrected. In other words, desires, expectations, and realistic outcomes can be better communicated. But even if the procedures are separated as mentioned above, there still can be significant differences between the left and right breast depending on your anatomy and the surgical technique. With all that said, you may have some surgical options to improve upon your outcome but have your surgeon help guide you. You don't want to get into a situation where more surgery leads to new problems.
