Bulge after implant removal. How can this be treated?

May 19, 2023
Asked By:Fabulous9098 in Madisonville, Kentucky

I had breast implant removal with a mini lift and fat transfer over a year ago. Ever since my surgery I have a fat/ bulge that hangs out over my bra and swimwear. I can still wear my same bikin top prior to surgery it was not like this before. I am 5’8 around 125 pounds. I removed my implants to make me feel better about myself now I feel worse.
