Breast Implant Removal: Q&A

Will Removing Breast Implants Sooner Help to Restore Previous Shape?

Im a 23 yr old Black female who recently got a breast augmentation about 5 months ago and Im wanting to have them removed. (went from a very small B to small D) The Dr. did a great job, but I really miss my old breasts. I realized that I got the enhancement for the wrong reasons and I was perfectly fine before. The question is: How will my breasts LOOK after I get them removed? AND will it make a difference in appearance if I get them removed as soon as possible?? Please help!!

Remove and Wait

It is difficult to say what your breast appearance will be after removal. Once you have an augmentation there is usually another surgery down the road (removal, exchange or lift). The best thing to do is have them removed and allow 3-6 months of healing to determine the breast shape. At the end of that period, it will be revealed if further surgery may be needed to improve your shape. Good luck. Dr. ES

In my opinion, the sooner you remove them, the better to allow your breasts to contract. It has been my experience that the will be relatively close to your original appearance with a small loss of upper fullness.

Breast implants and removal

It is hard to predict what your breast will look like after removal. They may not look much different than before but they may be looser.

It looks as if the implants are too high on your chest. Perhaps you wold like them more if they were a little bit more natural. However, if you really do not like them, then you should take them out. I do not think that time will affect them so much anymore.
