How Long Before Breasts Look Normal After Implant Removal and Lift?

August 2, 2013
Asked By:tj in seattle in Seattle

I had silicone implants placed at age 51. Two years later, I had them replaced with different implants as I had scar tissue around one nipple that caused an indentation under the breast. I had the my current implants for 5 years, and developed a seroma, so decided to take them out. I just went for the 3 week check up, and I have an indentation all the way across the same breast where the scar tissue had been. The nipple looks like it is sucked in. Any help on this?
