BA in 2002 Mentor Hi Pro sm rd Saline (375cc?). Revision Aug 2019 for bottoming out and for lateral displacement when laying down. Revision doctor replaced implants with Mentor MemoryGel sm rd mod plus profile 400cc. He preformed capsulorrhaphy with dissolvable internal sutures, closed the capsule lateral and inferior, opened medial and superior. 14 weeks post op there is significant rippling and deformities. Revision doctor offers no options except implant removal. Are there any other options?
