Breast Implant Removal: Q&A

How Much Will I Sag? (photo)
I have had implants (above the muscle) for 16 years. Firstly, soya bean oil then replaced in 2005 with silicone gel (I have no idea what size the implants were). I am now 40 years old and have had 3 children since my initial operation.I was 32A before augmentation (32DD now). I have had no problems but I have decided to have them removed. My surgeon thinks I will have a good result without a lift. Is this an optimistic viewpoint?

Removal
It is impossible to predict what the breasts will look like once the implants are removed. You appear to have good skin tone. The skin that has been stretched by the implantation will shrink.

Your breasts will have a very delfated appearance so be prepared. It sounds like the majority of your breast size currently is secondary to the implant.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Implant removal
It is difficult to predict the final shape of your breasts after implant removal. At least from the photos it appears that your breasts have maintained a nice shape and the nipples are still above the breast fold.

Breast Appearance after Removal of Breast Implants?
Thank you for the question and pictures. As you can imagine, it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, especially considering that the size of breast implants you have in place is unknown. The good news in your case is that your breasts appear to have maintained a nice shape, symmetry, and positioning on the chest wall.
Generally speaking what breasts look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the...
