Tuberous breasts, hematoma, capsular contracture. Is it possible to do something? (Photo)

Hello, I am a 20 year old girl who has had breast augmentation and corrective surgery for tuberous breasts. Following the surgery (February 2021), there were complications: hematoma and a capsular contracture. My surgeon only intervened last month, doing a partial capsulectomy which unfortunately went wrong. Now I find myself with a left breast still hard, with an extremely thin part of the breast skin, with visible capillaries. is it possible to do something? Thank you

At size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. At size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can determine the volume required to achieve your desired goal. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question and pictures! It seems that you're unhappy with your results. Breast augmentation can usually be revised for a lot of reasons and changing implant size is a common one but that is obviously an additional surgery. I think the size you have is very good and...
