Bottom out and capsular contracture twice. What are my options and what can I do?

Asked By:QB3 in Jackson Township, New Jersey

I had my original breast augmentation 275cc silicone, in 2017. I bottomed out on left side a month after surgery, but then the left side developed a bad contracture and lifted. My right breast bottomed out badly in 2019. I had revision surgery in 2021 to fix the ruptured implant for capsular contracture, and bottom out on my right side. Now my right side has a contracture and my left side is bottomed out. My surgeon used galaflex and internal stitching. The results look terrrible, now what?
