No Breast Fold Before Implants, What Will Happen After They Are Removed?

I understand that after removing implants women's breasts will be saggy because of the extra skin. However in my case there was nothing there in the first place, how would it sag? i had so little breast tissue i am scared i will remove the implants and it will cave in. what happens to the extra skin in this sutuation as it has no where to go? I am thinking the breast will look wrinkly or maybe i will have a fold with nothing inside just skin?

Breast shape after breast implant removal

Thank you for the question. Your concerns are reasonable. When you take the implants out and there is a volume loss, some of the breast skin and tissue will retract. The outcome will depend on the elasticity of the skin and the amount of the breast tissue. You need to communicate your concerns with your plastic surgeon and see pictures of patients who had implants removed. This will most likely answer your questions.
