What Needs to Be Done when Submuscular Saline Implants Are Removed? 32AA to 300 cc saline submuscular-1 year post-op. Need revision surgery(for symmastia)-For now I would just like to remove my implants before going through another possible nightmare.What happens to the released muscle & the pocket created? May want future revision surgery-Could a new pocket be formed submuscular after healing, or would I have to go subgladular (because of the symmastia and/or previous surgery)? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

A: Symmastia revision It is possible to correct symmastia and replace implants in one stage. However, if you and your surgeon elect to remove the implants initially and replace them in a second stage there are several options including changing to a sub glandular pocket and the potential for recurrence of the symmastia may be less.

Aesthetic Result After Breast Implant Removal? I had a silent breast implant rupture (no encapsulation). My breasts are both soft and jiggly. The implants are 10 years old, mushy, and soft, and I have at least a B cup of my own tissue (sub-dermal implants). They are not droopy. Will I be deformed after having my breast implants removed? I'm very scared, my aesthetic result is important to me. What will I look like after explantation? What should I expect? Will I need a breast lift? Will all my own tissue be removed, leaving me with concave "puppy dog ears"?

A: Aesthetic results after breast implant removal

Aesthetic results can be unpredictable after breast implant removal.

Over time, the breast skin envelope stretches, and the longer the implants are in, the more likely the skin will be stretched.

Also, larger implants will produce more skin stretching than smaller implants. Your age and skin tone also factor into the equation: the older individual with less elastic skin will probably have a less favorable result.

Stretching of the breast skin is correctable with breast lift procedures. You may choose to have a lift done at the same time as implant removal, or you can wait .

After the skin has had a chance to shrink (which may take a few months), you can still decide to do the lift if the breasts are sagging.

Obviously your breasts will be smaller with or without the lift, and unfortunately you will notice a lack of fullness at the upper portion of your breasts with or without the lift.

The breast lift procedure, however, can tighten the skin and correct any drooping of the breast and/or nipple.

Will I Have my Breast Volume Back After Explantation? I was a small B cup before, and my doctor said that my breasts might even look better due to the pocket he created for the implants. But now, my breasts don't look the way they did before, and it's flat. Neither size or shape is the same, there is no volume left, and its just awful! I have a great skin quality, as my doctor said, and my breasts were great before, but just small. Will they stay so flat and wide?

A: Breast volume after explantation

Following explantation, the breasts usually maintain the flat, widened appearance (often described as a deflated breast) due to the stretching of the skin and the compression of the breast tissue from the implants.
