Breasts and Pectorals Look Weird After Implant Removal

Releasing the muscle is a normal part of the intiial surgery. However, reattaching the muscle is considerablly more difficult. To some degree, I would avoud pectorais exercises. Botox can be used for this purpose but will require repeated treatments. Hollows can be filled with fat grafting.

Good day! It is not clear how far you are along with your recovery and it is difficult to assess without an in person examination or at least a photo. Generally after explantation, the shape and size of the breast will be unpredictable. The breast will be smaller and possibly sag more. Still, it varies between patients depending on their age, duration and size of the implant, or previous state of their breasts like existing anatomy, deformity, previous surgeries, underlying personal and family medical conditions, nicotine use, and other factors. Improved appearance can also be achieved through natural breast augmentation or mastopexy in conjunction or after explantation. Do not hesitate to contact your surgeon about this and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

In the attached video I demonstrate the "en bloc" technique for a bilateral periprosthetic capsulectomy. This patient had two sets of implants in her lifetime, both under the muscle. I repaired the damage to the pectoral muscle to minimize and prevent deformity. I hope this video helps to answer your question.
