Implant removal with breast lift - what can I do to fix this?

Implant Removal with Breast Lift

I got breast implants in 2008. As time went on I got more comfortable with my body and decided I wanted them out. My surgeon told me I would need a breast lift since my skin has stretched out. It’s now June 19, 2020. It’s been 4 months since surgery. One nipple is much bigger than the other and I feel like he cut me uneven under my breasts, one of them is round and the other is cut straight. He said he would fix my nipple. I’m really worried about the underboobs being uneven. I really do not want implants ever again. What can I do to fix this?

I think they look great. Underneath you wont see after awhile. If I were you I'd give it some time (1 yr) then make a decision. That's just my opinion.

There are people that can camouflage the scars and shape the nipple with tattoo. It’s an art form and if you find someone good, it looks really natural.

After going through two sets of implants, saline and silicone, last one with a lift, I feel like you should give your body more time to heal. Talk to your PS, get it in writing that he/she will correct any flaws, that don’t heal correctly within a years time. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a natural skin/scar healer. I used EVOO after my incisions were well healed, and also during my pregnancy. No scars, no stretch marks! Be patient. Your breast look much nicer post surgery, also. You made a good decision!

I haven’t posted photos here but mine turned out way worse. One areola is double the size of the other and an inch and a half LOWER. They also aren’t round anymore because my original surgeon didn’t cut on the edge when putting in my implants (as discussed) but cut in the middle of the colored area. Fast forward to my lift and this surgeon took it upon himself to cut the circle (if you can call it that) off center to get rid of the old scar but left them more lopsided.

I am about 3 months out and beside myself because when I ask him about the deformities, he flat out makes up stories. What he waits just doesn’t match up to what I can see with my own eyes.

Anyway, for what it’s worth, I think they look good but I definitely wish you well in getting the corrections you seek!

Best way to shame your surgeon, and warn others, is to post on here..But I wouldn't let your surgeon do a correction - he has to pay(or refund you money back)for another surgeon..if another surgeon agrees it can be fixed and wasn't done right..
I just got my explant and lift last week - my surgeon knew I would be posting results, and she did a excellent job with both..I think it makes a difference if they know you will be posting about it.

My mom got laser for her scars and you can't even tell they are there. I just got a lift as well and I'm planning on doing some laser or tattoos around the nipple if necessary.
June 28, 2020
What kind of laser did they use to make the scars disappear?
June 29, 2020
Hi I asked my mom and she said it depends on the scar so we should all ask a doctor before getting any lasers done on scars.

Scar revision

Just got a scar revision on January 5. I got my surgery February 27, 2020... had to watch 8-9 months to heal fully. Then got a scar revision. Also had the shape of my breasts evened out. Now they look more alike. Getting laser in 2 weeks. I’ll post another photo in a few months. Very pleased with the last surgery!

Hey! Would you say you experienced any breast implant Illness while you had the implants? Thanks.

When he did my first set of implants he accidentally poked a hole into one of my implant and it ruptured. Felt a bit sick but he fixed it immediately. Other than that no. I don’t not recommend implants, they stretch your skin out and are heavy. So happy mine are gone!

These are looking great now! Those scars will fade with time... I’m having my implants removed and an uplift in a few weeks it’s scary bit good to see you can get a revision and a good result if you’re not happy. Thanks for posting.

Hello, What did your Surgeon do To “Even Out” the shape? Thanks

He had to cut off and redo both my nipples. He removed a lot of scarring and keloids. He did a “scar revision” it was a way quicker recovery than the last time. On Feb 2, 2021 I’m getting laser treatment on my scars. I’ll be reposting another pic in a few months!

Thanks!!! Look Great!

Just wanted to post an updated pic since I had my ‘scar revision’ I got my scar revision January 5 2021. I have had 2 laser treatments. One in February and the last one in March. It was extremely painful. It is now May 11 2021. I will never recommend my plastic surgeon or a breast lift. I’m still not comfortable having sex without a bra on because I don’t want to scare anyone. I wish I accepted my body the way it was.

Looks 1000 times better after the laser treatment. Those barely noticeable scars will fade into almost non existence, with time. Be patient. You are your worst critic, like I was. You look wonderful! Stop worrying and enjoy your beautiful self! Olive Oil has healing properties, and will help scars and imperfections. I use it everyday.

Your boobs look good to me ..
