I'm 48 and recently had implants removed because my breasts were sagging while implants were still in place. I also had a lift done and was told the tissue would drop and lift the breasts to a great position. It's been 3 months and it never happened. PS said it is because of scar tissue. He wants to do fat transfer to lift them to where they will look good. Would like some opinions and thoughts on this. Thanks!
