Revision question: will nipple reduction & lowering of crease achieve a similar results as my other breast? (Photos)

Question

I had implants/ lift done by resident. I had a tighter/ smaller breast on ny right (left in photos).I breastfed 2 kids. My left looks amazing and natural. With a smaller nipple and defined IMF crease (the distance is longer) If I get a revision, would I be able to achieve a similar result on my right- by doing aereola reduction + lowering ofthe implant + lowering the crease and dissecting more? I am interested to go with an experienced surgeon but want opinions. 350cc silicon in each.

Dear mamabear226,
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.

The lower areola needs to be raised and it also can be made smaller at the same time. the inferior pocket on that side could also be tightened. I would leave the other breast alone.

Had to tell because the photos aren't from good angles, but the creases look pretty even and if you re-raise the nipple areola they might be more symmetrical. Remember no 2 breasts are perfectly even.
