Is this a Problem?

I had a DM three years ago. I had textured implants placed and have had two changes in plastic surgeons. On the non-cancer side, the original PS made a hole in the muscle wall that I could feel the implant through. When I lay on my side it pokes through. The new PS said he would fix it when he did exchange from expanders to implants. He did not. Now that hole is getting much larger. Is this something to be concerned about? im thinking about trying again to have the BC side fixed as it has its own challenges. It is much higher and smaller than the non BC side and I would like to have a closer match. I am thinking about changing PS again hoping to have implants removed and have DIEP flap done. Any input

    Gina- I'm sorry you have to deal with the issue of hole the muscle. If the hole is getting bigger, and your not happy with how your foobs appear than definitely get them redone!! The hole really needs to be addressed though if for nothing else your mental well being!!

    Thoughts and prayers!!
