I'm going to have revision surgery. I am getting strattice and textured sientras. My ps said I have a pretty good shot at success, but he scared me when he said that it is a possibility for cc to come back worse. Mine are grade 3 and grade 4, but I am lucky that they dropped before they hardened and are not really deformed as I've seen some. Does anyone have any experience with cc coming back worse and the patient totally regretting doing the revision?
