What will my breast look like post explant of only 8 weeks?

Hello, thank you for your question. Given your age and the smaller size of the implants that were inserted, it is likely that your skin will retract relatively well after explant. From my experience, this is generally what occurs, but everyone's results may be different.

Hi,With the size of implants and duration of placement your tissue/skin will likely return to its original form. Initially, they will look a little stretched but this will change over 3-6 months as the tissue heals. Depending on where the incision placement is, you will need to do scar massaging to help prevent puckering in those areas- for eg. if the implants were placed via the areola then that incision may begin to pucker in- this can be treatment with early scar tissue massaging and cupping. If the scar was placed along the infra mammary fold then it may sit lower on your chest/upper abdomen as the breast fold retract into its anatomical position. Hope this helps and congratulations on your decision to remove the implants!Dr. Dev

Dear lauielee652,
you need to discuss this with your plastic surgeon as probably the best option is to wait until you are fully healed to see the final results. However, if you decide to remove implants earlier, there is a high chance that your breasts will have the same size as prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
