Lower pole laxity following capsulectomy - would a simple capsulorrhaphy be a solution to my current ptosis? (Photo)

March 5, 2024
Asked By:VanessaNYC in Sanger, California

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.
