How Long Does It Take You Breasts to Recover, if Your Lucky Retract, Firm/fluff Up After Implant Removal?

Difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the breasts to “bounce back” after removal of breast implants. Much will depend on factors such as genetics, quality of skin elasticity, size of breast implants... Best to expect 6 months to one year time period before evaluating the “end results”.  You may find the attached link helpful to you, describing patients' experiences after removal of breast implants.

Good day! Generally after explantation, the shape and size of the breast will be unpredictable. The breast will be smaller and possibly sag more, but 9 days is too soon to see final results because swelling and bruising may persist. The results varies between patients depending on their age, duration and size of the implant, or previous state of their breasts like existing anatomy, deformity, previous surgeries, underlying personal and family medical conditions, nicotine use, pregnancy and other factors. For your guidance, tingling, burning or shooting pains indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. These sensations will disappear with time and should not alarm you, but if they cause repeated pain, local self-massage will help alleviate. Do not hesitate to contact your surgeon about this and discuss any other additional aftercare you need for best results. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

For most women, it takes about 6 months for the breast to heal and recover after implant removal. You are in the very early stages of healing. Helpful things to do include avoiding excessive activities, and medication and herbs that would increase bleeding. Follow your surgeon's suggestions for post operative care. After 6 months, you can consider other options, like fat grafting to the breast or lifts, if necessary.
