How much breast tissue do I have left? What will I look like after explant? (photos)

The fact that you have been told you have "good skin" without stretch marks is favorable when it comes to how much your breasts will "bounce back" after removal of breast implants.Generally speaking, what your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation).
Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed.
 Patience is definitely indicated after removal of breast implants; it will take many months/year for the skin to “bounce back” and for you to see the final appearance of the breasts.
In "borderline" cases where there is doubt whether breast lifting is necessary or not, I advise patients to undergo explantation only and to give their breasts the benefit of the doubt  before deciding whether breast lifting would be beneficial.  
In your case specifically my best advice: select your plastic surgeon very carefully. Ask him/her to show you examples of previous patients (demonstrating what he/she expects your breast to look like after breast implant removal and breast lifting surgery.   Seeing these visual representations of what you might expect, will likely help you make an informed decision as to how to proceed.
 I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello amj85,
Thank you for your question! It is impossible to predict exactly what your breasts will look like after explantation. However, after 14 years, the skin and breast tissue overlying your implants will have been expanded, resulting in stretching. Additionally, even a person with good skin will develop some degree of natural ptosis whether or not they ever had implants placed. While at 33 you are still very young, you will almost certainly notice loss of volume in the upper pole of your breasts and "sagging" of the now-attenuated and stretched tissue. That being said, you will likely retain some of your previous breast volume, but the chronically expanded skin will not have the same projection and "perkiness" as it did before surgery 14 years ago.
