Explanted 3 Weeks Ago Will The Tuberous Look Improve?

Tags: final result, tuberous

Concerned with aesthetic outcome. Had 300cc round saline implants. Incisions look croocked and flatness all around looks ackward especially at incision site. Right breast has deep wrinkle on lower pole. Pre-BA i was "cone shaped" now I look tuberous. The PS I chose does more implants than explants, concerned that outcome might have been better with PS that has more explant experience. Will appearance improve?

Breast appearance after surgery

You may want to let the tissue swelling resolve for 6-8 months before making your final judgement. Then, if the appearance still bothers you I would recommend seeing another plastic surgeon for a second opinion.

Breast Implant Removal - Explanted 3 Weeks Ago Will The Tuberous Look Improve?

In general, breast implants take what you have, and make it larger. That's about it.

Tuberous?

You clearly look like you have a moderate tuberous deformity and it's hard to imagine that you didn't have this before surgery as well. With no scar around your nipple I'm not sure the surgery you had was aimed at correcting this at all and I wouldn't expect this issue to correct by itself over time.

Implant issues

More than likely your breasts will look similar to what they looked like before surgery, especially if they were fairly new implants. Check your pre-op photos.

Breast implant explantation

Compare your pictures before the Breast Augmentation, after breast augmentation and the pictures after explantation. You probably had a TUBEROUS breast to begin with. Was the capsule removed? Did the surgeon use the same augmentation scar?
