Is there any way that animation/flex distortion can be corrected after implant removal?

RealSelfMember985210
I had my implants removed in July after just 6 months. I made a huge mistake and realised immediately they weren’t for me. My implants were under the muscle and I’ve been left with muscle distortion. I’m from Australia and some surgeons have said the muscle can be repaired others have said it’s impossible to repair. I’d just really like an honest answer if there’s a way to correct it. I had some fat grafting done at the time of implants so one breast looks like it has double bubble.
