I'm 5'6, weigh 115lbs. I got my breasts done in July, 2013. I'd like to get my breast implants removed but I've been wondering if my breasts get saggy after implant removal. Thank you in advance.
Answer: Explantation Expectations Good evening!I have 10-15 patients every year see me for removal without replacement, and with the proper technique your breasts will go back to exactly the way they were before you ever had implants.My approach is the following:1) completely remove the capsule and the implants2) place a drain for five days3) you wear a tight compression bra 24/7 for 12 weeksAfter the 12 weeks I reexamine you, and 1 in 20 patients will need a lift, whereas all the others have had enough tissue shrinkage that a lift is not necessary.Hope this helps!

Answer: How will I look? There are a few factors that will impact how you will look after removing your implants. Some are the size of the implant, the length of time they've been in place, and skin elasticity. You will obviously lose the volume that the implants provide when they are removed. You will have some "bounce back" afterward, but the degree of that will vary. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Explant sagging Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, your breasts are unlikely to droop after explanation. They will be deflated and flat which is different from drooping or sagging which has to do with nipple position.

Answer: Removal Impossible to say- but generally the larger the implant size - the more the breast will sag. It seems awfully early to be removing implants( 2 years later)- they look fine in these selfies but only your original surgeon can tell. If you insist on removing them. I would wait before considering additional surgery until whatever caused you to be unhappy with them has resolved and your breasts have had time to heal.
