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.
Answer: Bulge after implant removal I would love to help you with your question. Please post photographs of your breasts with and without your bikini top to help me understand the problem better.

Answer: Bulge Hello and thank you for your question. It is hard to say for certainty without photos, but if the bulge is on your "side boob" area near your armpit, liposuction can commonly help contour these areas. My best advice is to have an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with an in person exam to devise a plan to improve your concerns!

Answer: Unhappy breast results It is difficult to give you an answer without a full exam and before and after pictures to review. It could be the fat that was injected or some redundant skin. The best option is for you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Bulging after explant Fabulous9098, it is not uncommon that my patients, especially ones with Breast Implant Illness, gain weight in their breasts and surrounding tissues over time. It is entirely possible that this area of concern may be amenable to liposuction of the lateral chest wall tissues. Sometimes, this may also require excision of some skin in cases where the original lift was not aggressive enough at removing skin.
