I had my implants in around 11 years ago when I was like 22 or 23. I had a very good, full breast profile, but one was around 125 cc smaller. Got 150cc and 250cc saline implants that have since gotten mild contracture. I’m unsure what to expect when they’re removed. Deflation? Misshapen? Were the implants likely not large enough to be too concerned? Will they change shape after recovery? I went from around 34B to 34C.

Answer: How dramatically will explanting affect my breasts? Hello @PhoebeMcGee, thank you for your question. My opinion is that a breast implant removal should be combined with immediate breast reconstruction to reposition the mammary tissue and improve projection of the upper pole and medial areas using the BRALAN Technique (Breast Reconstruction Anatomical Lift Augmentation) since the results will be adequate in terms of aesthetics and have a minimal scar in the shape of an L. If you are considering a breast explantation, consultation with a plastic surgeon who is experienced in this procedure is essential to ensure optimal results. Best wishes!

Answer: Changes to your breast after explant. Hi Phoebe. It sounds like you originally had a decent amount of breast tissue. Further, your implants are not crazy big. You probably will have a decent shape following explant, though I have still had patients in your situation who benefitted from breast lift at the same time.
