How will my breasts look afterwards explant? (photos)

When you remove the implants you will lose the fullness that they provide. The skin will retract to some degree. It will be influenced by the elasticity of the skin and the length of time you have had the implants in place. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a personalized consultation.

Hello @Jjo3, thank you for your question. It really depends how the explant is done, surgical procedures vary from surgeon to surgeon. The explantations I perform are definitive, that is, the prosthesis is removed as well as the capsules and the breasts is reconstructed with the existing tissue the patient has in order to achieve the best aesthetic result. The breast reconstruction ensures that the breast doesn't look deflated, since removing the prosthesis will result in repositioning of the mammary tissues. The most appropriate course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeons. This will allow you to get more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS.

Your breasts will be smaller and a more natural shape with much less upper breast fullness. They will not look like they did prior to surgery since the tissue has been stretched and thinned with implants.
