Will DDD Breasts Sag if Breast Implants Are Removed?

I have Saline Breast implants that I got 5 years ago. I always thought my boobs were too big. They are now a 32DDD. I'm 5'2'' 115lbs.

In April 09, we were involved in a car accident and now the insurance is gonna pay for my implants to be replaced. They came out of the pocket? I think I want to just get a lift and go for a 32B or C with no implant.

Will my boobs look saggy? Can I get a Breast lift or do I require a reduction?

Removing breast implants and sagging

You are not giving us enough information. What size were you before the implants? What is the size of the implants? How do the breasts look now? Have a good Board certified Plastic surgeon see and examine you and they will be able to give you a better advice.

Augmented Breasts will sag when Implants are removed

In all your description, you failed to mention how large your breasts were BEFORE the surgery and what size / fill implants were placed during your augmentation. As a general principle, having large breast implants CAUSES both thinning of the breast tissue AND sagging of the breasts. As a result, when implants are removed, the resulting breasts look smaller and saggier than the breasts which were augmented. So - it is difficult to predict what volume your ex-planted breast would be... more
