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?

You will definitely have more loose skin after your breast implant removal. At this point I would recommend waiting until about 4-5 months to see your result. 2 months is a bit early to make such a big decision. A lot of things change and implants shift over time so at about 4-5 months time...
