Breast Revision - Sling Made from Cadaver Skin to Keep Breasts from Dropping?

August 11, 2010
Asked By:imloved4 in Temecula ca

I had lost about 100 pounds then had a breast lift with implants. I have had 3 revisions since as they keep dropping. The last time the doctor removed the capsil and a lot of extra skin yet they dropped again. Now he is talking about another revision using a sling made out of cadaver skin. Do you know anything about this procedure? He said the other alternative would be to stitch to the ribs. Not sure what to do. He said my problem is that i have thin skin that is not very elastic.
