Asked By:rinap222 in Buford, Georgia

I have capsular contracture on my left breast. I’m choosing a different surgeon this time and wanted to know if it’s possible to get good results from using a different incision site on one side than the other one had? I need a revision but wanted advice on if it’s a good idea or not to take this route of a different incision and insertion route. I have 700cc shells with a 1600cc overfill under the muscle Thanks you!!
