My breasts are sagging following a revision surgery, which was a total capsulectomy to undo capsular contracture with the addition of Strattice. Is a simple capsulorrhaphy a reasonable solution to my current ptosis/bottoming out, or do I need some sort of “internal bra” either using Strattice of Galaflex in order to support the weak breast tissue? Would Galaflex increase my chances of the capsular contracture returning? I am also considering explant surgery though I have little natural tissue.

Hi there,
Can you provide more surgical details, such as how far out from surgery these photos are? If you are early in your recovery then it will likely take more time till your final results are shown
IF you are over 6 months or so out then it would be more appropriate to discuss a revision...
I suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon and get an assessment from him or her.
It shouldn’t be that difficult to assess the integrity of your implant.
Unless your implants were old and fragile, it is unlikely that they ruptured from a car accident.
Best,
