I had no breast tissue before explant and then got 375cc under the muscle and I am now 30. Now after 3 years I would like to take them out but I am scared that I will be more flat that my pre op before augmentation. I know they will sag after, but considering these are high profile , will I still be flat? Ive attached my pre op before augmentation, my present pic, and what I wish to look like after explant. Is it possible to achieve this without getting smaller implants or fat graft? thank you!
Answer: How will I achieve this look after explant? Thank you for your question. As you know, removal of a 375cc implants will lead to a significant decrease in your breast size. Fat grafting is the best way to restore some of the lost volume, but it's important to have enough fat available for transfer and you will require 2-3 sessions. As a first step, liposuction, fat grafting and breast implant removal can be performed. If you desire additional volume additional procedures can be scheduled 3-6 months later.

Answer: How will I achieve this look after explant? Hi @mmggl, thank you for your question. It is important to keep in mind that after implant removal, the skin and breast tissues may be stretched or sagging, which can result in a less than ideal appearance. If you decide to undergo a lift, the most optimal and aesthetically appropriate option would be immediate reconstruction with the BRALAN technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) combined with a breast lift where the tissue is reconstructed and repositioned, excess skin is removed and the position of the areopla is repositioned to provide a natural and elevated appearance. I link you to a video that sheds more light on the subject. If you are considering breast augmentation, consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. I link a video that sheds more light. Best regards.

Answer: How will I achieve this look after explant? Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photo. Generally speaking, after removal of breast implants, breasts will look smaller and deflated. Patients with good skin elasticity have a better chance for skin contraction and breasts returning back to what they looked like prior to their augmentation. Implant size and the amount of time since implant placement are other key factors that determine how your breasts will look like after implant removal. Generally speaking, your options include removal and observation, or removal and fat transfer for a natural volume enhancement. You should discuss all these options with your surgeon. If you are unsure, you can just have the implants removed and decide what you would like to do after a period of observation. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.

Answer: Breast implant removal Placing breast implants stretches the skin. Unless you've gained weight, it is unlikely that your breast volume has increased. If you remove your implants, you will likely have a size close to what you were pre-operatively, with somewhat looser skin.In order to achieve the volume you are looking for, you can have smaller implants placed. If you do not want smaller implants, you can have them removed, heal for about 6 months, then re-assess. Another option for small volume augmentations would be to perform fat grafting (liposuction fat from other parts of the body and inject into the breasts).Hope this helps.All the best, Dr. B

Answer: How will I achieve this look after explant When you have your implants removed you may have excess skin, but you will not likely have more breast tissue than you had prior to augmentation unless you have had other changes such as weight gain. One option is to have the implants removed and allow the breasts to heal. If you are happy with the result you are done. If you are unhappy you can return for a small implant or fat grafting.
