I Have Tubular Breasts and Got a Mastopexy and Silicone Implants, What Happens if I Remove Them? (photo)
In 2007, I got a mastopexy with silicone implants because I had tubular breasts. I'm having a weird sensation in my left breast...it's an achey pain. I'm looking into getting an MRI to determine if there's an implant rupture. If I decide to have an explant without replacement, what will my breasts look like? If there was a lift before the surgery, will they be a more normal breast shape or still tubular? Will the skin be stretchy? I'm more concerned about shape rather than size. Thanks! :)

Implant removal and the shape after surgery has everything to do with the amount of breast tissue you have
Implant removal without replacement causes the breast skin envelope to appear saggy. It is as if you took the air out of a balloon that won't snap back and shrink. Often, a lift of some kind is required. But, the shape that you get after a lift is done has everything to do with how much breast tissue you have. If you have little or no breast tissue, you can be completely flat and the shape will be very much distorted. On the other hand, if you have lots of your...
