Has 90% of breast tissue been removed? Do I require a revision?

I got FTM top surgery 1 year ago through a combination of bodyjet liposuction and keyhole incision. My surgeon claims that 90% of breast tissue was removed, but I don't think that's accurate. Do you think that 90% of breast tissue was removed? Do I require a revision? Also, I had complications on my left nipple which left me with an inverted nipple, scarring (from skin necrosis) and loss of pigmentation, how can that be corrected? Thank you in advance.

It's understandable to have concerns about the long-term durability of nipple grafts, especially when considering your family history. However, the healing of a nipple graft is different compared to the healing of burn grafts. Nipple grafts can be a viable option for many individuals undergoing...
