I had breast revision w implant and alloderm adm 5/2020. The adm insertion distorted the shape of my right breast . It’s been two years and it’s extremely uncomfortable and unattractive. Is it possible to do a revision and remove the dermal matrix ? I can feel the perm stitches through my skin and have an indentation through the center of my breast / top of the adm . It’s like soft breast tissue on the top of my breast and from the center of my areola down the lower breast the skin is TIGHT now
