Breast lift with augmentation issues- HELP!

Breast Lift

It has been 1 year and 4 months since my initial surgery. The surgeon had to correct his work with a 2nd procedure. My areolas are so scarred and almost look mangled. One implant is obviously larger and lower than the other. The scarring is horrible. I did everything I was told to do during the healing process. What can I do about this if anything? I'm really unhappy with the results.

Failed implant or not?

Breast Augmentation

I had a breast reconstruction with implant under the muscle 7 weeks ago. After week 1 I developed a seroma that drained for 5 weeks. Didn’t respond to antibiotics so culture threw E.coli. Did 9 days of IM Ertapenem to save the surgery. Breast feels that pulls when I use the muscle. Draining stoped but how do I know if I will have to remove the implant or if antibiotics were enough? My PS is abroad

Implant not dropping after falling from snowboarding

Breast Reduction

Got my breast done in another state, from Arizona so it’s hard going back and forth, 1 month after I got a reduction and implant, I went snowboarding- I know stupid. I ended up falling on my breasts, ended up being infected from falling and I drained lots of green fluid, finally healed 2/3 weeks later. Will my right breast ever drop? Or did I create scar tissue to where it’s not dropping been 2mo
