What does explant with no breast tissue look like?

nan77
I had severe cc for many years and finally had capsulectomy and new implants in 2012. Sadly, I am developing cc again. Soft new breasts getting hard and deformed again. I really just want them out and done but I had zero, I mean ZERO, breast tissue, completely flat when I had them put in. It seems like all the pictures of explant I see the women had fine breasts before the implants and even look better with them out. If I go from 36C to nothing will it look freakish? Can the surgeon make me just flat instead of empty hanging flaps?
