I had a en bloc capsulectomy (implant removal) with mini lift. Implants were under the muscle and placed through my armpits, saline. I’m very disappointed with the folds that you can see in the picture. My surgeon hopes that cupping will resolve the folds and that the lower tissue will fill. Is it possible the lift is “too tight” causing those folds? Is there a “release” that could be done? The folds are so deep, I am skeptical that cupping can help. Fat transfer is not an option. Thanks,
