Filling in huge dent after implant removal - can it be fixed at all? (Photo)

Question

I explanted in November and turns out that one of my breasts has a very visible Muscle (Pectoralis) deformity. The muscle curls in and upward and therefore leaves my breast in a very sad shape. Any suggestions to what surgery could fix it? Can it be fixed at all? Minimal fat transfer into that area only? Are there any muscle repair surgeries? Breast reconstruction? I am based in the UK, so Doctor recommendations are much appreciated. Thank you heaps! x

Hi, thanks for your question. Sorry to hear that you have had problems after previous surgery. If the indentation is related to scarring of the breast onto the muscle, then this will require release, and the muscle laid back down onto the chest wall. Some fat transfer may be an option of you have an adequate volume of fat available for transfer. You may require a staged approach (more than one operation) to achieve the best final result. A face to face assessment would enable more accurate advice to be provided.

You will need additional volume to round the breast out which will require fat transfers.  You may also need release of scar tissue, if it is tacking it down to the underlying fascia or rib.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear kikiexplant,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like fat transfer would improve the shape of your breast. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You need an examination to see what possibility could be done for your muscle. You don't appear to have much fat. But if you do have extra fat, a fat transfer could be helpful.

The muscle behind your breast is not properly attached to then chest wall.
It need to be sutured back and may need some fat grafting
