Can you repair pectoralis muscle after explant? 2 months post op.

Chewi
I got my submuscular implants (250 cc) removed 2 months ago. I do suffer from flex deformity. The muscle was released at the inferior-medial border. I got them removed in local - capsules left in. My surgeon says that it can not be fixed, because he don't know what he should sew the pectoralis muscle back to. I understand the problem. Can you actually fix the pectoralis? Some doctors say yes, others no. And I have heard of girls who tried a repair, and it did not succeed.
