Want to explant but I'm am scared I will look like my original breast I have little breast tissue . I am the same weight 155 lbs I lost 100lbs 10 years ago and it has been stable .. I have 425 mod cohesive gel. Doctor suggested going over the muscle but I'm scared of other complications. He also suggested staying under the muscle with pocket revision. I would also want smaller as I feel these are too large for my body. Also I am planning a tummy tuck when I do this surgery. Ideally removal.

Answer: Debating on explant, have a full lift & doctor said won't need lift if removed - will I need another? Hello @Canadagirl82, thank you for your question. My opinion is that a breast implant removal should be combined with immediate breast reconstruction to reposition the mammary tissue and improve projection of the upper pole and medial areas using the BRALAN Technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) since the results will be adequate in terms of aesthetics and have a minimal scar in the shape of an L. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes!

Answer: Breasts These implants are too large since they are bottoming out. I would suggest going smaller and tightening your inferior and lateral pockets internally. If removed, you will look more like your first photo with more sagging.

Answer: Considering options If you choose to exchange implants you will likely not need a lift unless you decrease implant size significantly. There are several benefits to having the implants below the muscle versus above. Be sure to consider all the pros and cons. You can consider combining a tummy tuck at the same time as implant exchange which is commonly done. If you choose to explant only you will likely have loose empty breasts.
