Hi, at about five months post-op, one of my incisions flared up and I was back in my medical bra. The incision opened up and wouldn't close, so my surgeon went in and restitched the skin. It turned out the capsule never formed at the bottom of my implant, so it was pushing directly on the skin. I trust my surgeon, but I wanted to understand how rare this is? The hope now is that the capsule forms completely now, but is this possible? Have you seen cases like this? Thank you!
