I have one breast that is still somewhat numb and also recently started showing a dent. It’s getting more prominent as time goes on. My other breast is and has been fine, aesthetically and physically. What caused the dent in the one breast and is there anything I can do naturally to resolve it?
Answer: Natural resolutions Hello, thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this. This can depend on multiple factors including your age, weight, length of time your implants were in, and how long ago you explanted. From my experience, it can take about 12-18 months for your breasts to fill in or "fluff." Each patient's results can differ. There are therapy options such as cupping that may be beneficial for your aesthetics, but check with your surgeon prior to starting this. Hope this helps!

Answer: Dent after explant Dear jayeles, you should wait until you are fully healed. You can probably get fat transfer to fill the dent. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Dent after explant - is there anything I can do naturally to resolve it? Hi @jayeles, Thank you for your question. Sometimes breast implant removal can cause alterations in the chest wall or breast tissue, such as indentations. This is usually more evident in women with larger implants, as the larger the implant, the more it can alter the natural anatomy over time. However, it depends on the specialized surgical technique and procedures determined to achieve an adequate result. Healing is an important process and it is recommended that you take the time to let the tissue heal before considering any other options. A breast fat transfer may help, however, I believe there are other options you may want to consider. You could benefit from cosmetic reconstruction with the BRALAN (Breast Reconstruction, Anatomical Lift Augmentation) technique and breast lift. It is possible to create a good breast shape and upper pole fullness with your own tissue. To obtain more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best of luck! Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS.

Answer: Dent after explant The contour that you are seeing could be from thinned out tissues related to the implants. If your surgery was recent you may continue to see changes as healing progresses. If it has been six months or more you will likely need surgical intervention to correct it.

Answer: Dent The dent occurs when the issue has been thinned by the implant, especially if bottoming out occurred. Radiofrequency skin tightening like Renuvion, a fat transfer, or possibly a lift could all be helpful. If you are fairly recent from the explant, give yourself time to heal.
