The implant appeared to have pukered lips. Assume this means the rupture was new? I am 61 and single. I went to a reputable hospital to there plastic surgeon who totally freaked me out after I said I wanted them removed. He laughed at me as he told me how disformed I will be after the surgery. Cannot afford the surgery, let alone paying for humiliation.
Answer: It is highly recommended seeking removal of the ruptured implant to avoid any complications Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Answer: I have 35 year old silicone, sub implants. First of all, you definitely need to have them out, whether or not you choose to have new implants. As to what the appearance might be after implant removal alone, there is no way to even have an idea without current photos.
