Tuberous breasts with implants, wanting explant, what will I need for reconstruction? (Photo)

Joyfulkat
Hello. I had 390 and 400 cc saline implants under the muscle 19 yrs ago. I had very little breast tissue, asymmetric, tuberous breasts, misshapen and aerola hernia. I have a full circular incision around my right nipple, & half moon incision on my left nipple. I have a ledge under my right breast. What will I need to achieve natural looking, well- shaped breasts without implants? Should I wait until I’m done breastfeeding? I’ve breastfed 5 babies so far. Thank you!
