PS Couldn't Remove All Scar Tissue Resulting from Seroma at Time of Capsulectomy? I Think That's my Issue. (photo)

Saline, smooth, unders. Had a redo in one b/c of seroma (2wks later). PS said at time of capsule removal, he wasn't able to get all scar tissue that had formed b/c he would risking puncturing a lung?? Left is smaller, not as full and aches most of the time. PS refused to redo me stating it would only get worse (I guess). When I lean over the implant doesnt fill out like the other & the breast is empty at the nipple area, like it's stuck to my chest wall! Does this happen and can I be fixed!?!
