Unique breast explant/re-implant situation (Photo)

October 13, 2023
Asked By:Vivi8082 in Naperville, Illinois

23yrs ago I had saline implants through armpit. 18 years later I explanted thinking I had BII. Explant surgeon created a brand new incision in my 32A natural breast crease. 1.5 years later I found the reason for my health issues & healed with meds. I implanted under the muscle again through the incision the explant surgeon created. This raised the scar on the mid lower part of my breast, I have two indents on my breasts misshaping them. Can this be fixed?
