Hello! Two years ago I had a breast lift surgery that left me with three big problems. 1) My skin reacted terribly to the skin tape, with blisters and Keloid scaring. 2) I feel that my nipples are a lot higher than they should because half of it peeks from the top of my bra, 3) my cleavage is still not the “small and perky” i desired in the first place. I dont know what to do, and im afraid of getting another mayor surgery because of complications with breast feeding. What can I do? Thank you!
Answer: Candidacy for secondary mastopexy? Hi and welcome to our forum! Secondary stretching of the skin envelope occurs after mastopexy if the overlying skin has lost its elasticity (usually after pregnancy or massive weight loss) and stretches further following the breast lift, especially if a large implant was utilized as well. You have developed "pseudoptosis" (sagging of the breast below the areola) as well as areolar enlargement. You would be considered a good candidate for secondary mastopexy with areola reduction and removal of excess skin. . The areolae aren't high...the breasts and nipple-areolar complexes are low. If an implant was used, you may wish to downsize. Your ability to breastfeed may be altered with any breast surgery. If you are anticipating future pregnancy and breastfeeding, it may be wise to delay revisional surgery as subsequent pregnancy may require revisional mastopexy as well. Best wishes...

Answer: Undesired results after lift Thank you for your question and photos. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results after surgery. The best option right now is scar and areola revision with augmentation to give you the perkiness that you desire. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss treatment options. Please see the attached link regarding breast augmentation. Many of my patients find it very helpful.

Answer: Bad results after breast lift Your photos reveal recurrent drooping of the breast tissue, widened scars , and dilated areolae. The only way to adequately address this would be to undergo a revisional breastlift. This would allow reshaping of the breast , correction of the nipple areolar location and diameter, and improved scarring. One might consider use of an internal bra , to help maintain correction if the breast tissue is quite dense. This is unlikely to have any significant additional affect on your ability to breastfeed in the future. I would also recommend skin testing any tape or adhesive to be used prior to the procedure to prevent a recurrence of your original problem.
