Can I look normal after removing large breast implants and how much is the cost? I had breast augmentation in 2005 and the 450cc implants were place over the muscle so now I have lots of sagging. I want them removed but one doctor said this would be very difficult and he hadn't done one this bad but 2 or 3 times. Now I'm scared that I will never look normal. I need some advice and what kind of price I would be looking at? Thanks!

Answer: They will not look normal if you just have the implants removed After removing large implants that have been there for years, you will experience severe sagging and most surgeons will recommend a lift at the same time.I personally refuse to remove large implants without a lift unless the patient does not have much sagging and has enough breast tissue left which is rare and you already have a lot of sagging as you described.you can also try a smaller implant below the muscle along with the lift because a lift alone rarely provides much upper pole fullness.

Answer: Breasts change with implants so not the same after removal Large implants above the muscle can be particularly problematic in terms of the way they affect the breasts. The weight of the implants without any support other than the skin leads to stretching and so when the implants are removed the look can be quite a bit different. It is usually a better idea to replace with smaller implants and go under the muscle, and perhaps a breast lift to deal with the extra skin.
