I'm going for a revision breast lift due to stretched scars, stretched areola, and resagging. I got the surgery back in 2016, lollipop incision, no significant weight changes. I am going to a different surgeon, because my surgeon told me my scars weren't bad and then said he'd do a donut lift for me, this sketched me out. 1) would I benefit from an internal bra this time around? What exactly are the benefits of it? 2) do my breast lift results look normal to you?

Answer: Breast Aesthetics Your breasts appear to be two different sizes and shapes, your areola are too wide, and you have substantial scar spread. If you want to look better, you'll need a total revision, not a donut lift. The use of mesh can be considered, but what's going to make a big difference is careful execution of a surgery that gets symmetry in size and shape and reduces the areola. Post operatively, wearing 24/7 elastic and porous tape will allow much better scar formation.

Answer: Breast Lift Options I appreciate your concerns and frustrations. While in person examination would be helpful, it appears from your photos that you may benefit from using a so-called internal bra. My favorite option is an absorbable man-made product called Galaflex. This is placed around your lifted breasts and maintains the shape and lift. Overtime it is absorbed and dissolved by your body but leaves down healthy tissue that acts as a scaffold to maintain the lift. However not all patients require this. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.
