Deformed Breasts After Implant Removal? (photo)

   If your breasts were tubular and had ptosis before the original implants were placed, then the breasts should look worse after 6.5 years following implant removal.  Allow at least 3 months for the breasts to heal and contract and then additional decisions can be made.  Breast implants over time tend to thin tissues and create more droop.  In addition, age tends to cause a decrease in size and additional droop.  If you need them revised, find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast implant revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Good day! 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

Your picture suggests
bilateral breast hypoplasia, breast ptosis, and what appears to be a tubular
breast deformity.Without preoperative
pictures, it’s hard to know how much sag was actually present before your
original breast augmentation.It’s always difficult to predict how the breast will
react to implant removal.In some cases,
minimal sag will develop while in other cases, severe sag may occur
necessitating breast lift surgery.Unfortunately, it takes three to six months for the
breasts to stabilize after implant removal.It’s therefore important to wait at least six months before proceeding
with breast lift surgery.During this period, it’s important that you maintain
close contact with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon should be able to evaluate your progress and formulate a
treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your
aesthetic goals.
