Will I Need a Breast Lift After Explant? (photo)

July 25, 2012
Asked By:MissFitz

I am 24 and have 300cc one side and 325cc on the other saline implants placed under the muscle for just over 4 years. I have decided to explant only at the end of August because i am not happy anymore. I am worried of the outcome of the explant, is it possible to tell from the attached photo if i will need a breast lift after 3-6 months? There is and has been for a few years some visible rippling at the top and side of my breast.
