Why do so many breasts end up looking deformed after explants?

July 3, 2014
Asked By:dulcev in Los Angeles, CA

Im scheduled for explant in a week, Im reading other women experiences with explants and Im wondering WHY so many have ended up with very uneven, deformed breast?? Many have had removal of C/C. Is it because too much native breast tissue was removed? Some also had saline implants. I'm very worried I'm gong to end up like that also. I dont have hard implants. Never had any problems, saline, over muscle. Should I insist on a simple explant no capsulectomy, since my breast are soft. Thank you.
