My explant was performed almost five years and I have had these folds or dents since the surgery. Fat transfer and placing a new implant are NOT options for me. One surgeon said it is a straight forward procedure to release the tissue and/or excise any adhesions to improve the appearance of my breasts. I did not have any double bubble issues with my 220 ml implants. Thank you!

If you developed an early infection which required implant removal, it probably would have been wise to have drains after explant surgery. You should be evaluated by the plastic surgeon. That drainage is uncleared fluid from the infected implant.
