Hello i am 8mths post explant via the nipple/areola. I have pukering of both nipples, the scar appears to be adhered to the chest wall. Please can you tell me if a simple scar revision will resolve my problem. My PS says i have to wait until one year post explant and all I need is a simple procedure. (to cut/ release the scar tissue). By looking at my photos do you think this will be enough? Thankyou for taking the time to reply. I really need some advice please.
