Breast explanation and fat transfer to maintain some of the size? (Photo)

Hello @bkbaum, thank you for your question A personalized consultation is needed to make a surgical plan that takes into account your expectations. The removal of breast implants is a complex and specialized procedure that requires a high degree of expertise especially if it's done with mammary reconstruction, which in my opinion gives the best aesthetic result and is the right approach. In this case the incision would be periareolar and inverted J-shaped to avoid making a T. A permanent alternative is to augment the volume of your breast with your own fat. However, it is prudent to wait approximately 3 months after the explant. Take into account that the best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes!

Thank you for sharing your photo and for your questions. From your photos, you are a good candidate fat transfer to bilateral breast. Fat transfer will add upper pole fullness to give your breast more volume and shape. Added bonus is that you get to take the fat from another area(s). Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

If you plan to loose weight, do so first. If you just want to remove your implants, do so. You can have some fat transferred, but it may not be the same volume as your implants.
