Why do my boobs look so awful? (Photo)

Question

It's been 7 months. Since my surgery and my boobs look a mess they are 550 cc silicone under the muscle. Can you please tell me Why? I paid thousands of dollars for these and I regret it

I am so sorry that you are unhappy with your results. Without knowing your case in detail, it's impossible to say exactly what's going on but it looks as if you had tubular breasts which has affected the look of your implants. Schedule an appointment to speak with your surgeon about revision options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to have some tight/constricted tissue in the lower breasts as well as herniated/puffy nipples. I recommend that you talk to your Plastic Surgeon in person about the issues with appearance that are bothering you and ask about options for correction. Your Plastic Surgeon knows your situation the best and after a physical exam, they will be able to recommend options for correcting the features you do not like.All the best

I think you have two things going on here:1- it appears as though your nipple is herniated.  This occurs naturally on some  women and can actually be made more pronounced by augmenting the breast.  It is basically a tendency of the nipple to bubble outward beyond its natural borders.  Adding a high profile implant behind the breast can actually push the nipple out even further.  You can see the deformity very mildly in your preoperative picture, and of course more so in the postoperative picture with the implant pushing from behind.  The only reliable way to fix this is with an incision around the nipple which reigns in the tissues which would otherwise want to move outwards.  Given that you mentioned that your nipples seemed to be low on the breast mound, at the same time the nipple can be lifted to a new, higher position.2- it's difficult to say from your photographs whether or not your breast implant is riding high or not.  If it is riding high, the solution would be to perform further release of that issues at the bottom of the breast.  If the breast is in good position but the nipple is simply too low, the fix for that would simply be lifting the nipple at the time of the correction of the herniation.  The best person to determine the solution here is the surgeon who performed your augmentation.  He or she needs to see you in person to perform an exam and go over your concerns.  There are definitely solutions here, it is all a matter of discussing them with your surgeon. Best of luck!Dr. Subbio

It appears your implants are riding high. A superior band and compression exercises may help reposition them. If they are textured no compression or banding will help. Check with your plastic surgeon. If unable to be satisfied seek another board certified ASAPS plastic surgeon. Good luck...

Thank you for your question and for providing the photos.  Based on the photos, it appears that you have a tubular component to your breasts with herniation of your nipples.  This was exacerbated by your breast augmentation, but can be improved upon.  In order to reshape the breasts, a periareolar procedure could be done to release some of the constricted breast tissue and reduce the areola.  While this would leave a scar around the areola, it would at least improve the shape of the breasts and make them less pointed.I would suggest contacting your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns with them.  They should be able to help you get closer to the results you were hoping for.Best of luck with your breasts.Jeff Rockmore

It can be frustrating for some attention when their shape after surgery doesn't match their expectations. Many times the shape of the breast before surgery can dictate the shape after implants. Your breast look like they had a tight or constricted lower pole and this can be difficult to let the implants settle into a good position. Generally we like to wait close to a year before considering a revision surgery. Definitely follow up with your surgeon to examine  your shape

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information with pictures as well. I'm so sorry that your results wasn't good enough for you. It appears that you have tubular component to your breasts..You can have a periareolar intervention can be done to reduce it appereance.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Your implants may be a bit too high, but also your areola are somewhat protuberant and they can be reduced a bit and not look so torpedo shaped.  Good luck.

Thomas Trey Sands, MD · Answer

I'm sorry for your frustration. Sometimes augmentation can exaggerate prexisting conditions. It appears that your arealor tissue has pseudoherniation which gives the nipple and arealor complex a puffy appearance. This may or maynot improve with time. If it does not improve you may benefit from a peri-areolar reduction/lift to tighten the areola.

Steven M. Camp, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question about breast implant surgery.I am sorry that you are not pleased with your outcome at this point.  In reviewing your photos it appears as though you may benefit from a circumarelor lift procedure to correct the appearance of nipple and areola relative to your breast.  Additionally, it may be beneficial to perform further release of the breast tissue to optimize the implant position.  An exam is necessary to determine what may be the best solution.  Follow up with your plastic surgeon to discuss your results and what you wish to achieve.Best Wishes
