Thank you to the HCP who answered my last question a few months ago. Now my case has declined. I’m majorly laterally displaced. My implants are only 280 LP+ and are bottoming out below my inframmory fold. Implants only 6 months old. My doctor put implants above muscle. He tells me I have thin skin, and I had a previous bad BA about 8 years ago and have been implant free until 6 months ago, only to have this happen. He said he may want to remove skin on my lower pole and put in mesh attached to my ribs but he said I need to manage my expectations. I detailed my PS on the previous problems and showed pictures yet not capsule was down. Just implanted above muscle and this happened. Should I just explant and try to find a better surgeon in a few years or give up altogether and assume I’ll never have implants?
