Hello! I had my implants (under muscle) removed 5 years ago. Prior to that I had a revision for Symmastia and I’ve had complications since then. Well I removed my implants and now I occasionally have pain when I flex my muscles also I have this indent above my scar line when I lift my arm. Will a revision fix this? Is it scar tissue/adhension? The pain on my pec muscle is it also scar tissue? I did not do enbloc or capsule removal, just removed implants. Thanks!
