Was It Standard of Care for my Dr. to Place my Silicone Implants Above the Muscle?

I had a skin sparing bilateral mastectomy.I was stretched to a "DD" above muscle,then replaced w/ 700 cc silicone implant.After transfer,I was left with finger-like folds, rippling,lots of xtra skin. To correct this,Dr. then removed my aereola and additional skin,cut breast tissue in 1/2 pulld bottom 1/2 over top, then top over bottom to get double skin coverage. I lost my aereola. Was this standard of care procedure? I now have pain and bottoming out; What can be done now? Please help.
