Outcome after Breast implant Removal?

Unfortunately, there is no way of giving you a precise answer without direct examination. Sometimes, even after direct examination it is hard to predict exactly what the breasts will look like after breast implant removal and what procedure (if any) may be helpful afterwards. Generally speaking what breasts look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the... more

You can expect a Natural Result if you Replace With Fat - and without a Lift

There is a new procedure called SIEF - Simultaneous Implant Exchange With Fat- This procedure can result in breast size maintenance once the implants are removed- Liposuctioned fat us used at the time of implant removal to naturally augment the breasts- In most cases the breasts are the same size as with the implants, and a lift is not needed. see the video attached- Best Regards, Dr Del vecchio bostonbreastcenter... more

It's hard to say without actually seeing you, but most women will need a lift afterward to restore the shape to their breasts.

Appearance of breasts after implant removal (explantation)

The results of implant removal depend on several factors including your age, implant size, length of time they have been in, growth in size of native breast tissue, elasticity, existing breast ptosis and therefore it is impossible to know without a few of these details.

What happens after removing a breast implant?

The answer to your question depends on a number of variables. First, how long have you had your implants? How large are they? What is your skin quality? How much breast tissue do you have? It's most common to need a breast lift when having implants removed. Your surgeon will be able to tell you what you can personally expect once she's had a chance to evaluate you. Best wishes!

Removal of breast implants

How you will look after removal depends on how big the implants are, how long they have been in, how much natural breast tissue you have, if you have had children since your surgery, how old you are, if you have had weight changes, etc. If you are young and haven't had children and the implants are smallish and haven't been in more than a year or two, you will likely look similar to how you looked before implants. If your implants have been in for... more

Implants Away

I have removed many implants both saline and silicone. The route of removal is usually through the original incision used to place the implant. Depending upon your weight and breast volume you should look ok for your age with some ptosis or breast sagging.

Removing breast implants

In general, removing breast implants can be fairly simple if the type of implant is known and they are approached through the inframammary crease (either an old scar or a new incision). If the breast was not distorted by the original surgery to put the implant in, removing the implant should allow it to go back to looking the way it would have looked if the implant had never been there aside from the incisional scar. This does not mean the breast will necessarily look the way it did... more

What happens to the girls when implants are removed?

It is hard to be specific without pictures. In general you can expect smaller volume and some ptosis (drooping). How much depends how much the implant thinned your breast tissue. Schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a complete exam. Dr. ES

Implant removal

It is difficult to predict exactly what the breasts will look like after implant removal. It depends upon the pre-op shape, the quality of the tissues, the size of the implants, the amount of time the implants were in, etc..
