Heard back from Dr. Krau!
So Dr. Krau reviewed my photos and concerns and said that he can definitely close up the pocket, but wants me to wait a year. He will only be charging me for OR and anesthesiologist fee. If I need more GalaFLEX it will be additional as well but they won't be charging me a surgeons fee. That is extremely fair in my opinion.
He did the same operation on both breasts, I don't know why my left breast never heals as well as my right breast. I took care of them both breasts the same too. Even for my primary surgery my left breast was the one with more complications.
So I will hope for a miracle and that the implant pocket will seal up on it's own. If not I am very happy I am working with an ethical surgeon that won't just abandon me when I have a complication. Will keep this page updated as I progress in my healing. :)

3 Month Post Op - Update
Hi everyone!
Wow I can't believe it's been 3 months since I had my revision. So far things are healing but I am having some complications during the healing process. When Dr. Krau did my revision, he had to open my implant pockets up high so my implants had somewhere to go since they were both so bottomed out. Since it's an all or nothing maneuver as Dr. Krau described it, he had to open it all the way up. I woke up with a compression strap on from my surgery not so they can push the implants down, but it's to keep the upper poles compressed so they can heal and seal up properly.
My right side sealed up just fine after a month, had no issues with it what so ever. Lefty on the other hand - upper pole never sealed up properly. When I reached out to Dr. Krau about 3 weeks post op - I was told absolutely no laying down without my strap and to wear it as close to 24/7 as possible so the capsule can seal up. I even bought a surgical bra with a built in compression strap so I can be strapped in at all time, and sleeping with it on for the last 2 months + and still no improvement so far.
Now I notice my midline looks off center... Reached out to Dr. Krau's office to see what he says.
My goodness... I'm so done with Lefty. It had the same operations as Righty yet it never heals as well.

Amazing doctor, listened to all of my concerns and told me how he planned to address them. He even pointed out things that I never noticed like how my right breast is over my midline and needed to be reinforced. Straight forward and gives you a realistic expectation. Right before surgery I was getting a little nervous and he talked to me about NYC to distract and calm me down as he was drawing on me. Made sure I had his mobile and his nurse's too in case I needed anything. Loved working with him.
