Skin due to breast pocket made wrong. How can this be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:ani6767 in Soere, Viken, Norge

Any ideas? how to fix this skin flap, caused by a former surgeon years ago. Now I've got new implants, and my surgeon tried to sew from inside, but didn't last a week. He used dissolve able sutures. I've already discussed how sad I am about it, but he doesn't seem to be of the opinion, that there is something to do. If he knew, I'm certain that he gladly would help me. My own thoughts are maybe to sew with not dissolve able sutures, or to sew from the outside.
