6 months ago I had 20-yr old large implants removed and a lift. I noticed my skin stretching slightly off of my sternum after getting the original implants but since they have been removed, it’s obviously much. I am a bit surprised that my surgeon didn’t address this recently during the X plant and lift. She did mention things like dermal matrixes, or the only way to fix it would be new implants, but seems reluctant to address it. I need a second opinion but not sure where to start.

After removing large implants (especially 600cc), the remaining natural tissue may not have enough structure or elasticity to hold a full shape, even with a lift.
Over time, the skin and tissue can sag or collapse inward, creating a “deflated” or uneven appearance.

It is difficult to give you an answer without a full exam and before and after pictures to review. It could be the fat that was injected or some redundant skin. The best option is for you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
