Breast implant removal

What your breasts will 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 size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).  Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such... more

Removing breast implants

It's hard to say what you'll look like without actually seeing you, but you'll most likely need some sort of lift after implant removal to restore the natural shape to your breasts.

Explant and lift

You'll want your breasts to be tightened up by means of a lift technique because your large implants will have stretched out your tissues. Best wishes

Breast lift as same time as implant removal

In borderline cases, I have strongly advised my patients to undrego the implant removal and to wait for subsiding of resolution and skin contraction (usually completed by 6 months). see video

Breast appearance after implant removal

It is difficult to predict how the breasts will look after removal of implants that have been in for more than three years. You may require a lift.

Removing breast implants

I would disagree or at least put it differently than the other responses so far.

Breast augmentation

Any lift will denpend on how "loose" your tissue is. Another words, the elastic property of your skin will impact any decision to do a lift.

Will breasts sag after implant removal

Breast sagging after implant removal

You can have your implants exchanged for smaller implants or you can have them removed. Depending upon how much excess breast skin there is, you may require some sort of lift procedure. Before getting yourself so determined not to have a lift, you should have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to help allay your fears.
