What option do I have after a failed DIEP Flap LP Flap?

dannysgirl929
DIEP flap surgery 5/1/18, emergency DIEP repair 5/1/18, failed DIEP flap with LP flap with implant 5/19/18, surgery due to necrosis with new implant 7/5/18, surgery for necrosis with new implant 8/24/18, surgery with fat grafting due to the skin not healing correctly and new implant 9/26/18, the last implant formed a capsular contracture and I will need future surgery. I have chosen to deal with the pain for now. My question is, what options do I have with all the failed surgeries?
