Symmastia repair? 6 months post-op large implant removal & lift (Photo)

StellaMay22
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.
