I am seriously considering a breast augmentation, but what if I don't like the way the implants look after surgery? Can the breast implants be taken out, and would my breasts look the same as they used to? I am just getting scared because with plastic surgery, it seems like there is no going back if you don't like the outcome.
Answer: Implants can be removed; scars cannot Don't undergo a procedure that you are already thinking about backing out of. It sounds as if you have unaswered questions and are quite hesitant pursuing. Although the implants can be removed, your scars can't and will be a costant reminder of your surgery.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Be sure that you want to proceed with surgery The implants may be removed if you'd like, but your breasts may be a little saggy if the implants were on the larger size. This is because your skin may not be able to retract. However, I recommend you're sure about having implants before proceeding with surgery.

Answer: Breast Implant Regret Thanks for the question - You're right to be cautious. Surgery - any surgery - is something that can never be completely undone. You should be sure about why you're doing it, you should be sure you've found a board certified plastic surgeon who can answer all of your questions and you have good communication with. Smaller breast augmentation is more "reversible" than larger breast augmentation. The skin envelope stretches more to accommodate larger implants and a larger pocket must be created to hold larger implants. Scars in any size breast augmentation are permanent, whether the implants are removed in the future or not. Be sure you've had all of your questions answered by the surgeon that you're planning on doing the surgery and make sure you understand all the risks and benefits to breast augmentation. You should never be pressured by a surgeon to proceed with surgery. Best of luck. Steven Williams, MD

Answer: It sounds like you're doubting your decision Or maybe you haven't made the decision. Most women who come in for breast augmentation surgery have always disliked their small breasts and can't wait to have them enhanced. With that, the removal rate for dissatisfaction with the implants is very low. It sounds as if you have trepidation about whether you really want the procedure or not. Rest assured that you can always have the implants removed if you don't like them. Good luck!

Answer: Don't take surgery lightly Please don't take surgery lightly. Plastic surgery is great and for the most part people are very happy with their results. However, it seems like you may need to think about it some more before you go ahead and have surgery. Having breast implants placed is not something you just try out with the intention of having them removed. Talk to other patients who have had the surgery so you can get a better idea of what them went through. If you are considering breast implants, have the surgeon's office lend you some sizers and walk around with them in your bra for a couple of hours. Try on some different clothes and see how you like the new fit. I hope this is helpful. David Shafer, MD Shafer Plastic Surgery New York City
