I removed my breast implants three days ago. Do ribs shape change after breast implant removal?

Asked By:ntlmr

I have been told that  ribs have to find its shape again too (not only breast tissue) Because implants behind the muscle push ribs backwards, Is that correct? How long does it take? Many thanks!
