Will the Tissue Under Breast Eventually Adhere to Chest Wall As Scar Tissue Absorbs?

nicholreeseMay 31, 2010
Implant removal 1yr and 3mos ago; capsule left in, scored repeatedly. Right side did not appear to adhere to the chest wall, revision 3mos ago where breast tissue was cut away and re-adhered to the areolar tissue, I still have some puckering around the areolar incision site. Will tissue ever adhere?
