I am planning to have my saline breast implants removed, which are around 250cc's. Original size was 30/32 A/AA before and after small C or large B. Im wondering if my breasts will look bad and saggy? More importantly, will they be bigger or smaller than my original size. I just wasn't sure if they cut away any fat tissue when removing implants. Im 32, never had children and weight has only fluctuated around 10 lbs. I currently am 5'3 and weigh about 100lbs. Thanks so much!

Answer: This may sound weird, but it's what I recommend... 1. Have a board certified plastic surgeon deflate your implants in the office- they can do this under local anesthesia and it will let you see what your breasts will look like if you removed the implants without having surgery.2. Give it 4-6 weeks for your breast tissue to retract and recover from the stretching the implants were doing.3. Then at surgery, you will have an idea if you are comfortable with the way they have responded and look or if you would like to have a lift or a smaller implant replaced.I do this all the time and it works very well. It helps make informed decisions at the time of SURGERY because you already know what your breasts will look like.-JGH

Answer: After removal of implants Thank you SakedropThere are several issues here.Are you planning to remove them because they are hard and unattractive?Will they look saggy you asked. Well it sounds as though you had very little breast tissue to start with, so you will not be able to be too saggy as there will not be too much breast to sag. Will they look bad? Only you can say after they are removed.They will not be bigger than the original size.Whether or not tissue needs to be removed depends on the hardness or capsule situation. If the capsule is removed then some capsule is removed but not much breast tissue. See my photos on my site for a better understanding of what an old capsule looks like when removed. You will see that with my technique there is little breast tissue removed. If you breasts are soft you may simply remove the implants and leave the capsule. You can live with them for a while and decide later if you would like a modern implant placed which will give you a beautiful natural comfortable feeling.
