Double bubble still there after revision. Any thoughts?

May 17, 2023
Asked By:Lisa Wu in Sudbury, Massachusetts

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
