What can be done to correct my stretched skin and tissue loss after breast augmentation? (photos)

August 7, 2024
Asked By:Genuine54862 in Meridian, Idaho

My original BA was in 2016. In May 2023 after having a baby, a silicone rupture required revision and lift. I experienced bottoming out and Galaflex was then added in October 2023. So much tissue has disappeared between losing weight and repeated lifts, and now you can actually see my ribs above my breasts, dips into the capsules when I lie down, and there is flexion distortion and a hard lump in my left crease after October. How do I fix this? I feel deformed and surgeon just wants to explant.
