Hi, I had my surgery 3 years ago and my surgeon lowered my folds unknown to me 5 months down the line the one breast bottomed out and I also got capsular contracture on the other. Now I'm wondering weather to completely remove. The concern I have is if I replace it may happen again. If I remove implants where will my immfomatry fold scar end up? Will my breasts go back up to there pro lowered position leaving big scars 2cm lower?
