I had subpectoral breast augmentation performed with 330cc, silicone implants 10 years ago to correct hypoplastic/mildly tuberous breasts. I have never been happy with them, my left implant bottomed out only weeks after the procedure and has caused me some discomfort ever since. Due to BII, I am ready to say goodbye to implants. However, I am afraid of what they will look like post-explant, will they be tuberous/deflated/loose skin? Should I consider fat grafting to provide more fullness?
