Hi! I was a small A before implants and mostly wanted to correct the shape rather than have larger breasts. I’ve really hated having implants. I got implants and a lift 2.5 years ago. If I explant and lift again with a skilled explant surgeon, will my breast shape still be round rather than tuberous? Thanks!

Answer: Small tuberous breasts- had lift and implants. Will tuberousness be corrected after explant? Thanks for your pictures and questions. The answer is "it depends." Generally speaking, if your surgeon made an effort to repair the tuberous deformity at the time of the implant, then some of those internal things should be corrected. However, there are plenty of surgeons out there who do not adequately recognize and treat the tuberous problem and just throw in the implant and move on. In addition, the implant often is used in breast deformity cases to "impart" its shape upon the breast and when that implant is removed, the breast sometimes has an uncanny ability to return "back to normal" and retake some of the original shape. Best thing would be to discuss with your plastic surgeon if any procedures could be done at the time of the removal to alter the shape or contour of the breast for a more ideal outcome.

Answer: Tuberous Breast and Explant Judging by the way things look now, I would say and explant and lift would be the way to go. You did not have significantly tuberous breast before surgery so you should be fine after the removal and lift, obviously using a skilled surgeon who understands and has lots of experience with explant surgeries in the past.
