Which is more damaging to the appearance of breast when doing an explant, subglandular position or submuscular?

Removing implants placed behind the breast may remove a little more breast tissue if the capsules are removed. But, there is usually not much difference between the two positions for removals. Both removals will deflate the breasts.

Dear munirah97x,
removal of implants can be easily done, sometimes even under local anesthesia. 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.

Hello @munirah97x, thank you for your question. Removing breast implants is a complex and specialized procedure that requires a high degree of expertise especially if it's done with mammary reconstruction, which in my opinion gives the best aesthetic result and is the right approach. When breast explantations are done with reconstruction, the position of the implant does not matter since there is a repositioning of the mammary tissues that improves the appearance of the breast. An inverted J-shaped incision would be made periareolarly in this case to avoid making a T. 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! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
