I seem to be bottoming out on my right breast - is a capsulorrhaphy necessary? (Photos)

Asked By:Monique037

11 weeks post op. My surgeon said she opened up that right side more to even out my nipples during surgery. I went to see her a few days ago and she said to wear a supportive bra until healing completes and that I do have a slight bottoming out but doesn't think it will get worse, but said if I wanted to go back in for a capsulorrhaphy it would be an additional 6500. I just paid 10,000 11 weeks ago. Is this necessary? Should I be worried this will progress? I'm very stressed.
