I've had two surgeries to repair the bottoming out of both sides of my implants. My doctor blames my lack of fat and prior breast lift/ reduction. During the first repair, my doctor attempted to re-suture the pocket and adhere things more intensely. During the second repair, I paid for the strattice material to be added. That repair was a year and a half ago. I'm just so disappointed and at a loss. Can this just not be fixed??? Or should I seek out another in person consult?
