I was a 32A prior to my breast augmentation and went to a 32DD. I was wondering if I remove my breast implants, will I lose most of my natural fat from my breasts? I’m worried I will no longer have any breast tissue left if I remove them. Thank you!

Answer: Breasts after explant If you were a 32 A prior and your weight has not significantly changed, then you should return to that size. owHow However, simply removing the implants results in patient dissatisfaction because of the hanging skin. The technique I recommend is explantation using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Implant removal Thanks for your question. Shape of the breast following the removal of implants can vary widely. It will depend on a variety of factors. Breast size before augmentation, skin quality, age, size of implants and even how long the implants were in. Generally speaking, women that went from an A cup breast to a DD will have significant ptosis or sagging of the breast following implant removal. Options include replacing the implants or performing a mastopexy (breast lift) with the remaining tissue. Your best option would be to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options. Best wishes.
