I'm ignorant to those new techniques, but I could say that I would not want revision surgery. It sounds great in theory as a backup, but the more revisions you have the more scar tissue that will build up and may even prevent you from undergoing ADR surgery in the future. I could only say choose wisely. undergoing many surgeries is traumatic on your body, pocketbook, and your personal life.
Since you already know of what techniques exist, I would contact the companies and find doctors in your area that preform them to gather more info. doctors in clinical trials can't give out exact numbers, but they can steer you away from the poorer resulting outcomes.
