What Is a Botched Breast Lift
A botched breast lift refers to an outcome that leaves the breasts with uneven contours, excessive scarring, loss of sensation, or an unnatural shape. Problems can arise from poor surgical technique, improper incision placement, or unrealistic expectations.
Common Causes and Warning Signs
Inexperienced surgeons, excessive tissue removal, or failure to follow proper wound closure can lead to asymmetry, skin necrosis, or lifted nipples that sit too high. Warning signs include persistent pain, hard lumps, or wounds that do not heal as expected.
Revision Surgery and Next Steps
Revision breast lift surgery aims to correct scarring, restore symmetry, and improve the overall breast contour. Patients should seek a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in revisions, and they can review detailed guidance on revision considerations at https://www.plasticsurgery.org/revision-breast-lift
