Following explant, there is bound to be some degree of deflation and skin laxity. Some of the skin will recoil, but, depending upon the volume lost, some of the skin will not snap back and remain lax. Often times, these patients will need a lift/mastopexy, if they chose not to replace the volume lost. With regards to your specific question, I would expect some skin laxity post explantation, at least initially. Some will recoil with time and, sadly, some will not. Age does play a role as well. Ultimately, this often a function of the degree to which the skin was initially stretched with augmentation. This may take several months to settle.The procedures are commonly performed simultaneously, however, they may be staged. Post explant lifts are fairly common and have similar outcomes to other lifts. With regards to your specific question, the lack of available post explant lift photos may, as you said, be a function of age. Older patients (who often undergo explant) tend to shy away from making their before and after photos available on the internet (likely a generational phenomenon). I would encourage you to seek out consultation as many of these result photos are available in the setting of consultation. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
