About ten months ago I had 350cc moderate smooth saline mentor implants inserted sub-muscularly.I am unhappy with the outcome; they are much larger than I ever wanted and cause me pain.I healed well with little evidence of surgery, just a small dent under my right breast (visible when flexed). Before surgery I was an A cup... Will my breasts be loose or saggy with deformaties or will my breasts "bounce back", so to speak, after removal?

There will be changes after breast implant removal

You will certainly look smaller after the removal of your breast implants, but I would not expect them to be "deformed".

Breast implant removal (explantation) and breast appearance

A 350 cc implant is a considerable implant and while you will see that your breasts will :boucne back probably better than you think, it is likely that you will be left with a loss of upper breast fullness. Any defect could possibly be treated with fat grafting but Iwould wait at least a year prior to undergoring this.

Removing Breast Implants may result in Breast Sagging

Breast Implants are associated with some loss of breast tissue and with stretching of the breast skin envelope. Removal of long-standing implants after such changes have come about will cause a deflation with loss of breast volume and noticeable breast sagging. In the most advanced cases, the appearance has been described as a "rock in a sock" look.
