Will my breasts look perkier as the skin retracts?

Asked By:XxKatieMayxx in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia
I received 350 mod plus breast implants that were much too large for my frame. I removed them after having them for 3.5 months. They had bottomed out slightly as well. I am 24. No kids. I am currently almost 2 weeks post op. Prior to surgery my doctor was very optimistic that my breasts would look very similar to what I had before but they seem very misshapen and quite saggy. I am hoping that as the skin contracts they will lift back up to their normal position? Is this possible?

As long as you are only removing the implant shell and not the capsule the procedure is low risk to have done under local anesthesia. In order to have the capsules removed as well it is recommended that you be under general anesthesia. Best wishes with your pregnancy!
In very limited circumstances should implants be removed under local anesthesia. If it is recommended to have your capsules removed as well general anesthesia will be needed. If you have a relationship with the surgeon who performed your augmentation you may want to consult with him/her.
The plastic surgeon can examine your skin elasticity prior to surgery. One way to tell yourself is to look at any area where you have stretch marks. If you have had children and have no stretch marks, this is a good sign that you have good skin elasticity.
