Effects of Removal on Newly Implanted Breasts?
I am 5'7" and 108 lbs. I was a small A before my implants and I have 421cc silicone. It has only been barely 3 months since I got them. I now want to have them removed.
My PS said that I would go back to like before my implants since I haven't had them for too long. True? My concern isn't being saggy but will my natural breast tissue be visibly dimpled and wrinkled? Will I definitely be even smaller than before?

Breast implant removal
What your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).

Implant removal and effects
It is difficult to predict how the breasts will respond when the implants are removed. Some do quite nicely.

Effects of breast implant removal (explantation)
There are so many factors that will effect the ultimate outcome and appearance of your breasts following implant removal. These include:

2.Size of implant

5.Length and duration of nursing while implants are in place
6.Natural volume of breast tissue

Removal of newly placed Breast Implants
First, is this what you really want? What changed since you had your implants placed? I would want to make sure that you are really sure that this is what you want. I might even require that you see a psychologist before proceeding this early on in the postoperative period.
Once you decide to have them removed, the likelihood is that they will still look good, but not exactly the same as before surgery. You should very be very sure that you are going to be happy with the final result...

Implant removal and resulting breast size and shape
The skin stretch that occurs from a 421cc implant on a woman whose breasts were small to begin with is not insignificant. It is hard to predict what your breasts will look like but there is a chance they will be saggier. Your plastic surgeon is the best one to counsel you on this.
The other issue is to review why you want them removed. Are they too large, not what you expected, etc. These are important questions to discuss with your plastic surgeon too. I wish you well.
