I had saline implants put in June of 2005, 270cc in one breast and 300cc in other. Im wondering if my breasts will look about like they did before implants... I posted already but forgot to add photos. So I'm wondering if my breasts will be smaller than original, sag.... or will they look about the same? The photos with the implants were taken only a couple weeks after surgery. They look much better now. I want them removed b/c they are too hard, old and I'm having trouble breathing
Answer: Implant removal When implants are removed, the breast shape will depend upon many factors including: 1) How elastic is the skin and breast tissue, 2) weight loss or gain, and 3) pregnancy after the augmentation. The breast shape is typically flatter and droopier than the pre-augmentation shape after the implants are removed.

Answer: Saline implant removal. Will they be smaller than the original, sag, or will they look about the same? Without the current pictures and the benefit of physical exam- it's difficult to comment accurately. Therefore, we don't know what kind of anatomical changes you had after 10 years of having implants. So, your post -explant condition will depend upon many factors. I would discuss it with your Surgeon during your in person exam.

Answer: Appearance after explant HelloWith saline implants, a helpful technique can be to sterilely puncture and deflate the implants in the office before making a definitive plan for a next step. The breasts often look somewhat lumpy and odd right at first, but after several weeks, the appearance usually improves. This gives some women a better idea of what they might look like without implants. If you were happy with your appearance at that point, you could simply have the implant shells removed under local anesthesia. If you decided that you weren't happy with the result, you could make a plan with your surgeon for more surgery. Small breasted women who have moderate sized implants (like you) often do just fine with removal of their implants, as long as they have realistic expectations and can accept a somewhat "deflated" appearance.Best wishes-

Answer: Removal of implants Independently of implants, your breasts are now ten years older compared to when you had your augmentation, so it is unrealistic to think that they would go back to their original look after removal. In fact, because of the implants, they may now look worse than they would have done if you didn't have your operation.It is unfortunately impossible to predict if you will need an uplift or not, but if you start with deflating your implants you will know by the time the complete removal will be planned.

Answer: You will be close to original breat I would recommend deflating your implants under local anesthesia. It will talk few weeks till your breast will go back to original shape and size. You can decide at that time to just remove your implants, get another set of implants or get fat grafting. Please see below link for patient with same issues.
