Is it risky getting breast implants after explant (425cc silicone implants)?

March 5, 2022
Asked By:bmg87 in Portland, Oregon

I had a breast augmentation surgery in May of 2015, 425 cc silicone implants. When I got them done, I thought I was done having kids. I decided to explant at the end of 2018 because I wanted to have another baby and I was concerned about breastfeeding while having big implants. Now that I am done breastfeeding and having kids (tubes tied) I want to get implants placed again. Will surgery be more risky/difficult now due to possible scar tissue from having had implants in the past?
