Tethering after breast explant en bloc. What other option do I have other than surgical? (photo)

September 17, 2019
Asked By:Olachica21 in Charlotte, NC

My doctor said I have tethering on my left breast after en bloc capsulectomy and only a surgical act would fix it.Fat graft and mastopexie. I am trying to avoid another surgery due to the general anesthesia. What other option do I have other than surgical? My inframmary scar does not follow my natural breast shape .If I do a scar revision along the fold , will it release the tissu above ? Thank you.
