I have seen only one over 60 explants without lift pictures. Is that because they look bad. Seems no one older post pictures. I am 64 and want to explant.

Answer: Breast Implant Removal results Good day! Generally speaking, our skin will stretch overtime and it will largely depend upon the patient's age, weight, and other factors prior to explantation, such as implant size, pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, it is hard to assess without an in-person examination or at least photos. It is best to consult your plastic surgeon regarding this concern and discuss detailed information and realistic expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Expectations for breast implant removal for a 60+ year old patient There are several factors that determine the result of a breast implant removal. Your skin could stretch back under several conditions: (1) if your breast tissue did not decrease over the period from your original breasts; (2) if your pectorals major muscle maintained its bulk; (3) if your pectorals major was not cut during insertion; (4) or if it was cut during insertion, it was repaired successfully after explantation; (5) if your rib contour was not altered by the implants. In other words, your skin has to be supported by adequate volume in the breast. In general, breasts with sub pectoral implants tend to do better than sub glandular implants after explantation, because the breast tissue is less stretched by the implants. Breasts that had no contracture tend to do better.Your question is a good one but complicated to answer without more information. I hope this helps.
