Breast Capsulorrhaphy (breast pocket internal stitches to put the implant back in place) - Can I improve the result? (photos)

Karen130Sep 20, 2023
I went through a breast capsulorrhaphy on my right breast. He didn't use galaflex, he just gave permanent internal stitches. It looks much better than before but I still notice my right breast is slight lower than the left. Is it worth it to redo it? Is it possible that it will fall more? Is there anything I can do to improve this result? I went to another doctor and she recommended using a support on my right breast to make it more “lifted” while is still healing. Does that really help?
