I had my breas reduction performed in July 2022. The procedure went well, although i had a post-op infection after approximately a week. My lft breast breast is puckered underneath and above the nipple. I just want to know my possible options if any. Thank you in advance.
Answer: Breast reduction Dear Charlottebailey88, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Scar revision It appears from your photos that your concerns are from the tethering of the scar. A scar revision can be performed and it should address the shape. See your surgeon to learn more.

Answer: What can I do to correct the appearance of puckering underneath and above the nipple? Hello @Charlottebailey88, thank you for your question. I believe there may be room for improvement in this area. After reviewing your pictures, it appears that a revision with a reconstructive component may be necessary. To ensure we meet your needs and expectations, I would recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss a surgical plan that takes into account what can realistically be achieved with a plastic surgeon who has experience with this procedure if you are considering breast revision surgery to ensure optimal results.
