Answer: Breast implant removal results Thank you for your photos and questions. When the implants are removed you will lose the volume that the implants provide and will likely have loose, sagging breasts. The lift is used to raise the position of the nipple and shape the breasts. Based on your "before" photos you do not have a lot of natural breast tissue to shape. Depending on your goals you may wish to discuss options with your surgeon, such as fat transfer or a smaller implant.

Answer: What can I expect my breasts to look like after removing my breast implants and getting a breast lift to remove excess skin? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Based on what time and gravity typically do, an implant removal alone will leave you with excess skin and breast sagging that you would likely dislike. The lift will help improve your nipple position and remove much of the excess skin but you would not be left with much breast tissue. Depending on your goals you may wish to reduce the size of your implants and then have a lift performed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Removal Since you were not happy with your original size, you may not be happy after the removal. I would suggest considering exchanging your implants for smaller ones which will be less heavy. Your large implants have probably thinned your tissue over time, and you may be smaller than prior to surgery. You will still probably need a lift. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your options and concerns.

Answer: Breast Implant Removal Without an exam, it is difficult to tell you what your final breast size would be after removal and breast lift. The indications and feasibility of Enbloc Capsulectomy depends on whether or not you have a capsular contracture, implant rupture, and whether or not the capsule is adherent to surrounding structures such as the chest wall/ribcage. In certain situations the risks of enbloc capsulectomy could outweigh any perceived benefit. I am usually pleasantly surprised at the final appearance and size after implant removal, but you certainly have to be prepared for a flat upper pole and a dramatic change in your breast appearance that you may not be thrilled with.
