I am a gastric bypass patient & had a breast lift with silicone implants in October of 2023. I am disfigured. One breast is fuller than the other, I only have a nipple on my right breast as the areola is gone, my Left breast has an areola & a nipple, but have a divet as the original incision came open & the surgeon did open wound care for 6 months instead of stitching the incision back.
