Augmentation reversal, what to expect?

Question

I had breast implants put in June of 2011. I am now considering removal. What can I reasonably, logically & honestly expect if I move forward? Thank you

Thank you for the question.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 as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will  potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them  to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed.Consulting with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon in person may be helpful.

The best answer to your question requires far more information then you have provided and even then an examination would be helpful.  I would trust what your PS has to say
