I’m 32 and had 390cc silicon implants put in under the muscle 5 years ago. I’ve always hated the way they feel and I want to get them removed but am really worried about how they will look. I was basicallyj flat before and am terrified about what I’ll be left with and stretching and sagging. I have thought about getting the smallest size implant possible so that they look and feel more natural but don’t want to worry about future surgeries. Would fat grafting be an option? Will I need a lift?
