After two revisions from breast augmentation and complications continuing (capsule contracture, asymmetry, capsul tear, general pain/discomfort) I am going to have to have them removed. My doctor recommended fat grafting to the breast at the time of explant to help with volume. What aesthetic outcome can someone with little natural breast tissue (a small A) expect? My implants are 300 cc low profile plus and put in a C cup currently.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method At the time of explantation, most patients are usually dissatisfied with the excess hanging skin and a simultaneous lift is required. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, you would benefit from explant with lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Implant removal You should be returned to your previous cup size with implant removal so the fat grafting will help get a little volume most likely and get a better shape to your breast. The nice thing about fat grafting is that it can be repeated later on to add even more volume if you are initially disappointed with your breast size after implant removal.The other thing to consider is wrapping your implants in a mesh or strattice which can almost bring your chances of recurrent capsular contracture to zero.
