Answer: I am 4 weeks post op and have this ripple under my right breast. Is this normal? Rippling is sometimes secondary to deep stitches placed to ultimately give you a thin scar. Your picture seems to show that, however, I would recommend you see your surgeon to be sure nothing else is going on in that area. Asking about a revision is way to early to even discuss. Healing takes time. More time than most patients are willing to wait. I do not recommend any revision for minimum six months.The best plan for you is to see your doctor and express your concerns. I am sure he or she will reassure you and treat you appropriately.

Answer: Normal? Your vertical mastopexy (lollipop lift) appears fine. The gathering of skin you see at the bottom of the incision is due to the lack of a horizontal incision, which would be required to address the excess skin. This should resolve over time, but if it does not you should consider a skin excision.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
