Breast implant removal - how likely I will need a fat transfer or lift? (photos)

October 26, 2021
Asked By:Olive87 in Australia, AU

I would like my sub muscular implants removed. I had implants placed 5 years ago, initial 2 surgeries above the muscle and now below the muscle 2 years ago. I have animation deformity and I'm very aware of them whenever I engage my pecs. I want them removed. I'm 34, no kids, always 50-55kg, 5'8. How likely I will need a lift? Do Need to repair the muscle given the animation? Should I wait 6 months before considering fat transfer?
