I had surgery Jan/2017 I was suppose to get breast lift with implants. woke up from surgery doc told me he wasn't able to do the implants bc it was to tight and he did the pockets for them but couldn't put them in so I only got Lift. My heeling was horrible, I had really bad open wounds. Just went back and he wants to do a scar revision and add the implants with a new incision to the side of breast. Would be two different surgeries. Scared it would open again and not be worth it. Should I do it?
