I'm 27 and have had Breast Implants for 5 years total (350cc Saline for 2 years, 225cc Silicone gel for 3 years). I would like to get them removed without replacement. I would also like to get pregnant soon & in the future (likely 2 kids total). I naturally have naturally small breasts (AA/almost A), little breast tissue, & fairly elastic skin. I would prefer not to get a breast lift if I didn't have to, but would be willing to if necessary. Should I get my implants removed now or wait until after pregnancy to have the best aesthetic result?
Answer: Breast Implant Removal after pregnancy Good day! Generally speaking, our skin will stretch overtime and it will largely depend upon the patient's age, weight, and other factors prior to explantation, such as implant size, pregnancy or breastfeeding. You may undergo explantation before pregnancy so implants won't interfere with your milk supply. However, it is suggested to do the lift after pregnancy as your breasts will increase during pregnancy and skin will stretch. It is hard to assess without an in-person examination and is best to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon regarding this concern and discuss detailed information, your goals and realistic expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Breast implant removal
I would vote for waiting after pregnancy to have the implants removed. That way, if additional surgery may be necessary to correct post-pregnancy/breast-feeding changes, it can be done at the same time.
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.
Occasionally, I see patients who just want the implants removed because they don't want the implants "to be a part of them" anymore. Make sure you think about this and that this is the right thing for you. It's difficult to say if you need a lift after removal -- no one will know exactly what your breasts will look like after the implants are removed until it is done. Talk to a well-trained and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and get good advice.
Best wishes.
