Permanent sutures with breast implant revision
I had a revision about three months ago because ,y implants were placed too close together originally. When I went in for surgery, we were simply going to place the implants over the muscle instead of under where they were. During surgery, my surgeon saw my pockets were extremely large, allowing the implants to almost touch in the middle. She placed permanent sutures along the midline of my chest.
Following the surgery I still get sore. And find it hard to find a bra that doesn't push my implants together at all... Also I am very athletic and struggle with being very limited in my workouts even though I never do any kind of chest exercises. I still have slight pain just from bending over. Will this feeling ever go away? How long do I need to limit my workouts? Are there any problems associated with these permanent sutures? I can't seem to find anyone with a similar experience...

At the beginning of this year I decided to get breast implants. I found a surgeon in Reno and decided to go through with it. I went under the muscle, 350cc silicone, as recommended by the doctor and her staff. About 5 months after the procedure I had developed symmastia and Dr Mccormack agreed to do a revision. She explained to me this was because she had placed the pockets too close together as a result of trying to give me cleavage. For the repair she wanted to bring them over the muscle, and possibly use smaller implants.
Coming out of surgery I ended up having a pocket repair procedure which resulted in sutures down the midline of my chest. The healing process was extremely hard on me and to this day I do not feel healed for my normal activities. The implants do look much better than after the first surgery but I wonder if this uncomfortable feeling will ever go away... I'm extremely disappointed and not sure how to go about feeling better about my body. After my experience I would not recommend breast implants, or I would recommend researching your surgeon much much better. I feel I was mislead as to what way my implants should have been positioned and the size.
