Planning to have my implants out, they have been in 3 years, 250cc moderate silicon implants under muscle; with capsulectomy (or partial capsulectomy as I've heard capsule may stick to ribs) and no lift. 29yo 164cm no kids, good skin elasticity, light asymmetry (right breast). In your professional opinion what would be the result in 3-6 months vs original shape? Would they be smaller? Also, do areolas look stretched? My actual breast tissue may have grown (not too sure). Thank you in advance.

Answer: Breast appearance As your implants are of a moderate size and have been in for 2 years, you may return to a look similar to that of your pre op photo. You will lose the volume that the implants provide, and they may be slightly droopier after explant. If you are unhappy with the appearance once you have fully healed you can always elect to return for other treatments to improve the appearance.

Answer: Breast implant removal. Would I be a good candidate? Thank you for the question. Nothing will replace in-person evaluation when it comes to providing you with good advice. Generally speaking, what your breasts will look like after explantation depends on several factors such as: the quality of skin elasticity (the better the elasticity the better the skin will bounce back), the size of the implants used (the larger the implant the more trouble you may have with redundant skin), and the amount of breast tissue present at this time (which may have changed since the time of your breast augmentation). Life experience since your breast augmentation procedure, such as pregnancy or weight gain weight loss, will potentially influence the factors discussed above. If you take these factors into consideration and apply them to your specific circumstances you may get a good idea of what to expect after the implants are removed. Patience is definitely indicated after removal of breast implants; it will take many months/year for the skin to “bounce back” and for you to see the final appearance of the breasts. In "borderline" cases where there is doubt whether breast lifting is necessary or not, I advise patients to undergo explantation only and to give their breasts the benefit of the doubt before deciding whether breast lifting would be beneficial. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
