Asked By:Canadagirl82 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

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.
