Had a revision surgery to change implant and to fix double bubble on one breast. The revision did not help, even though surgeon put Galaflex mesh and cleaned out old scar tissue. Any thoughts? Any hope it will ever improve without thinning further tissue or removing skin? Can improvement be done without general anesthesia? Thank you

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos it appears you just had your revision surgery. Based on the photos provided the left implant( as I look at the pictures) it appears lower. I belive it takes at least 4 months for implants to settle. I would reevaluate after that amount of time.
The pocket certainly could have been made to low or this may be normal settling. I would revise the implant pocket through another approach possible tacking the fold. Also a larger implant may give more upper pole fullness.
Dear Maria569,
based on your photos, it doesn't look like you have symmastia. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion....
